multiply both sides by 2 $\"%28a%2B2%29%5E2=196\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28a%2B2%29%28a%2B2%29=a%5E2%2B4a%2B4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"a%5E2%2B4a%2B4=196\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 196 from both sides $\"a%5E2%2B4a-192=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Factor the left side (a-12)(a+16)=0
\n" ); document.write( "a= 12
\n" ); document.write( "a= -16\r
