If by "answer" you mean the value of a, then there are two answers: 4 - 2√3, and 4 + 2√3. If you mean that it should be factored, there are two ways to think about it:
- Set the whole thing equal to 0 by subtracting 12. Then you get an irreducible quadratic, i.e. one that does not factor.
- Factor only the left side, and consider each part individually. The left side of this equation factors as (a - 4)2.
