a^2-a+156=

Solution for a^2-a+156= equation:

Simplifying
a2 + -1a + 156 = 0

Reorder the terms:
156 + -1a + a2 = 0

Solving
156 + -1a + a2 = 0

Solving for variable 'a'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-156' to each side of the equation.
156 + -1a + -156 + a2 = 0 + -156

Reorder the terms:
156 + -156 + -1a + a2 = 0 + -156

Combine like terms: 156 + -156 = 0
0 + -1a + a2 = 0 + -156
-1a + a2 = 0 + -156

Combine like terms: 0 + -156 = -156
-1a + a2 = -156

The a term is -1a.  Take half its coefficient (-0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-1a + 0.25 + a2 = -156 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1a + a2 = -156 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -156 + 0.25 = -155.75
0.25 + -1a + a2 = -155.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(a + -0.5)(a + -0.5) = -155.75

Can't calculate square root of the right side.

The solution to this equation could not be determined.
