Add '3' to each side of the equation.
-3 + 2.5a + 3 + a2 = 0 + 3

Reorder the terms:
-3 + 3 + 2.5a + a2 = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0
0 + 2.5a + a2 = 0 + 3
2.5a + a2 = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3
2.5a + a2 = 3

The a term is 2.5a.  Take half its coefficient (1.25).
Square it (1.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.5625' to each side of the equation.
2.5a + 1.5625 + a2 = 3 + 1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + 2.5a + a2 = 3 + 1.5625

Combine like terms: 3 + 1.5625 = 4.5625
1.5625 + 2.5a + a2 = 4.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(a + 1.25)(a + 1.25) = 4.5625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.136000936

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(a + 1.25) equal to 2.136000936 and -2.136000936.

Subproblem 1
a + 1.25 = 2.136000936

Simplifying
a + 1.25 = 2.136000936

Reorder the terms:
1.25 + a = 2.136000936

Solving
1.25 + a = 2.136000936

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1.25' to each side of the equation.
1.25 + -1.25 + a = 2.136000936 + -1.25

Combine like terms: 1.25 + -1.25 = 0.00
0.00 + a = 2.136000936 + -1.25
a = 2.136000936 + -1.25

Combine like terms: 2.136000936 + -1.25 = 0.886000936
a = 0.886000936

Simplifying
a = 0.886000936

Subproblem 2
a + 1.25 = -2.136000936

Simplifying
a + 1.25 = -2.136000936

Reorder the terms:
1.25 + a = -2.136000936

Solving
1.25 + a = -2.136000936

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1.25' to each side of the equation.
1.25 + -1.25 + a = -2.136000936 + -1.25

Combine like terms: 1.25 + -1.25 = 0.00
0.00 + a = -2.136000936 + -1.25
a = -2.136000936 + -1.25

Combine like terms: -2.136000936 + -1.25 = -3.386000936
a = -3.386000936

Simplifying
a = -3.386000936
