Simplifying
(1 + -1a)(3a + -2) = -4a

Reorder the terms:
(1 + -1a)(-2 + 3a) = -4a

Multiply (1 + -1a) * (-2 + 3a)
(1(-2 + 3a) + -1a * (-2 + 3a)) = -4a
((-2 * 1 + 3a * 1) + -1a * (-2 + 3a)) = -4a
((-2 + 3a) + -1a * (-2 + 3a)) = -4a
(-2 + 3a + (-2 * -1a + 3a * -1a)) = -4a
(-2 + 3a + (2a + -3a2)) = -4a

Combine like terms: 3a + 2a = 5a
(-2 + 5a + -3a2) = -4a

Solving
-2 + 5a + -3a2 = -4a

Solving for variable 'a'.

-2 + 9a + -3a2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-3 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-3'.
0.6666666667 + -3a + a2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.6666666667' to each side of the equation.
0.6666666667 + -3a + -0.6666666667 + a2 = 0 + -0.6666666667

Reorder the terms:
0.6666666667 + -0.6666666667 + -3a + a2 = 0 + -0.6666666667

Combine like terms: 0.6666666667 + -0.6666666667 = 0.0000000000
0.0000000000 + -3a + a2 = 0 + -0.6666666667
-3a + a2 = 0 + -0.6666666667

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.6666666667 = -0.6666666667
-3a + a2 = -0.6666666667

The a term is -3a.  Take half its coefficient (-1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
-3a + 2.25 + a2 = -0.6666666667 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + -3a + a2 = -0.6666666667 + 2.25

Combine like terms: -0.6666666667 + 2.25 = 1.5833333333
2.25 + -3a + a2 = 1.5833333333
