What you want you did not say. Solve for x?

a-sqrt%28a%29%2Bx=x%5E2, what is given or all that is shown...

x%5E2-x%2Bsqrt%28a%29-a=0

Use formula for general solution of quadratic equation.

Discriminant, %28-1%29%5E2-4%28sqrt%28a%29-a%29
1-4sqrt%28a%29%2B4a

x=%281%2B-+sqrt%281-4sqrt%28a%29%2B4a%29%29%2F2
