Use the quadratic formula to solve for 'a'

a+=+%28-B%2B-sqrt%28B%5E2-4AC%29%29%2F%282A%29

a+=+%28-%28-46%29%2B-sqrt%28%28-46%29%5E2-4%282%29%28254%29%29%29%2F%282%282%29%29

a+=+%2846%2B-sqrt%282116-%282032%29%29%29%2F%284%29

a+=+%2846%2B-sqrt%2884%29%29%2F4

a+=+%2846%2Bsqrt%2884%29%29%2F4 or a+=+%2846-sqrt%2884%29%29%2F4

a+=+%2846%2B2%2Asqrt%2821%29%29%2F4 or a+=+%2846-2%2Asqrt%2821%29%29%2F4

a+=+%2823%2Bsqrt%2821%29%29%2F2 or a+=+%2823-sqrt%2821%29%29%2F2
