4a^{2}-8a+4-4\left(a^{2}-a-2\right)>0
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(-2a+2\right)^{2}.
4a^{2}-8a+4-4a^{2}+4a+8>0
Use the distributive property to multiply -4 by a^{2}-a-2.
-8a+4+4a+8>0
Combine 4a^{2} and -4a^{2} to get 0.
-4a+4+8>0
Combine -8a and 4a to get -4a.
-4a+12>0
Add 4 and 8 to get 12.
-4a>-12
Subtract 12 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
a<\frac{-12}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4. Since -4 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
a<3
Divide -12 by -4 to get 3.
