Ignore the factor 2.

Subproblem 1

Set the factor 'a' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying a = 0 Solving a = 0 Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Simplifying a = 0

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(8 + 6a + -1a2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 8 + 6a + -1a2 = 0 Solving 8 + 6a + -1a2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by -1 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '-1'. -8 + -6a + a2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '8' to each side of the equation. -8 + -6a + 8 + a2 = 0 + 8 Reorder the terms: -8 + 8 + -6a + a2 = 0 + 8 Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0 0 + -6a + a2 = 0 + 8 -6a + a2 = 0 + 8 Combine like terms: 0 + 8 = 8 -6a + a2 = 8 The a term is -6a. Take half its coefficient (-3). Square it (9) and add it to both sides. Add '9' to each side of the equation. -6a + 9 + a2 = 8 + 9 Reorder the terms: 9 + -6a + a2 = 8 + 9 Combine like terms: 8 + 9 = 17 9 + -6a + a2 = 17 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (a + -3)(a + -3) = 17 Calculate the square root of the right side: 4.123105626 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (a + -3) equal to 4.123105626 and -4.123105626.

Subproblem 1

a + -3 = 4.123105626 Simplifying a + -3 = 4.123105626 Reorder the terms: -3 + a = 4.123105626 Solving -3 + a = 4.123105626 Solving for variable 'a'. Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
