Solving for variable 'a'.

Reorder the terms:
24 + -1a + -2a2 = a + -1a + 2a2 + -2a2

Combine like terms: a + -1a = 0
24 + -1a + -2a2 = 0 + 2a2 + -2a2
24 + -1a + -2a2 = 2a2 + -2a2

Combine like terms: 2a2 + -2a2 = 0
24 + -1a + -2a2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-2'.
-12 + 0.5a + a2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '12' to each side of the equation.
-12 + 0.5a + 12 + a2 = 0 + 12

Reorder the terms:
-12 + 12 + 0.5a + a2 = 0 + 12

Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0
0 + 0.5a + a2 = 0 + 12
0.5a + a2 = 0 + 12

Combine like terms: 0 + 12 = 12
0.5a + a2 = 12

The a term is 0.5a.  Take half its coefficient (0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
0.5a + 0.0625 + a2 = 12 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + 0.5a + a2 = 12 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 12 + 0.0625 = 12.0625
0.0625 + 0.5a + a2 = 12.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(a + 0.25)(a + 0.25) = 12.0625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 3.473110997
