Solving
ax + -1a2 + 3x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'a'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-1 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-1'.
-1ax + a2 + -3x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3x2' to each side of the equation.
-1ax + a2 + -3x2 + 3x2 = 0 + 3x2

Combine like terms: -3x2 + 3x2 = 0
-1ax + a2 + 0 = 0 + 3x2
-1ax + a2 = 0 + 3x2
Remove the zero:
-1ax + a2 = 3x2

The a term is ax.  Take half its coefficient (0.5x).
Square it (0.25x2) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25x2' to each side of the equation.
-1ax + a2 + 0.25x2 = 3x2 + 0.25x2

Combine like terms: 3x2 + 0.25x2 = 3.25x2
-1ax + a2 + 0.25x2 = 3.25x2

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(a + 0.5x)(a + 0.5x) = 3.25x2

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.802775638x

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(a + 0.5x) equal to 1.802775638x and -1.802775638x.

Subproblem 1

a + 0.5x = 1.802775638x Simplifying a + 0.5x = 1.802775638x Solving a + 0.5x = 1.802775638x Solving for variable 'a'. Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5x' to each side of the equation. a + 0.5x + -0.5x = 1.802775638x + -0.5x Combine like terms: 0.5x + -0.5x = 0.0 a + 0.0 = 1.802775638x + -0.5x a = 1.802775638x + -0.5x Combine like terms: 1.802775638x + -0.5x = 1.302775638x a = 1.302775638x Simplifying a = 1.302775638x
