The solution

You have entered [src]
(-5*x - 3)*(2*x - 1) - a = 0
$$- a + \left(- 5 x - 3\right) \left(2 x - 1\right) = 0$$
Detail solution
Expand the expression in the equation
$$- a + \left(- 5 x - 3\right) \left(2 x - 1\right) = 0$$
We get the quadratic equation
$$- a - 10 x^{2} - x + 3 = 0$$
This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = -10$$
$$b = -1$$
$$c = 3 - a$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(-1)^2 - 4 * (-10) * (3 - a) = 121 - 40*a

The equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$x_{1} = - \frac{\sqrt{121 - 40 a}}{20} - \frac{1}{20}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{\sqrt{121 - 40 a}}{20} - \frac{1}{20}$$
