954a2−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
954a2=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
954a2=1
Divide both sides
954954a2=9541
Divide the numbers
a2=9541
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
a=±9541
