\left(x-\frac{3}{2}\right)\sqrt{a}+4x+\frac{5}{2}-\left(4x+\frac{5}{2}\right)=-\left(4x+\frac{5}{2}\right)
Subtract 4x+\frac{5}{2} from both sides of the equation.
\left(x-\frac{3}{2}\right)\sqrt{a}=-\left(4x+\frac{5}{2}\right)
Subtracting 4x+\frac{5}{2} from itself leaves 0.
\left(x-\frac{3}{2}\right)\sqrt{a}=-4x-\frac{5}{2}
Subtract 4x+\frac{5}{2} from 0.
\frac{\left(x-\frac{3}{2}\right)\sqrt{a}}{x-\frac{3}{2}}=\frac{-4x-\frac{5}{2}}{x-\frac{3}{2}}
Divide both sides by x-\frac{3}{2}.
\sqrt{a}=\frac{-4x-\frac{5}{2}}{x-\frac{3}{2}}
Dividing by x-\frac{3}{2} undoes the multiplication by x-\frac{3}{2}.
\sqrt{a}=-\frac{8x+5}{2x-3}
Divide -4x-\frac{5}{2} by x-\frac{3}{2}.
a=\frac{\left(8x+5\right)^{2}}{\left(2x-3\right)^{2}}
Square both sides of the equation.
4x+6+\sqrt{a}\left(x-\frac{3}{2}\right)-\frac{7}{2}=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 2x+3.
4x+6+\sqrt{a}x-\frac{3}{2}\sqrt{a}-\frac{7}{2}=0
Use the distributive property to multiply \sqrt{a} by x-\frac{3}{2}.
4x+\frac{5}{2}+\sqrt{a}x-\frac{3}{2}\sqrt{a}=0
Subtract \frac{7}{2} from 6 to get \frac{5}{2}.
4x+\sqrt{a}x-\frac{3}{2}\sqrt{a}=-\frac{5}{2}
Subtract \frac{5}{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
4x+\sqrt{a}x=-\frac{5}{2}+\frac{3}{2}\sqrt{a}
Add \frac{3}{2}\sqrt{a} to both sides.
\left(4+\sqrt{a}\right)x=-\frac{5}{2}+\frac{3}{2}\sqrt{a}
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(\sqrt{a}+4\right)x=\frac{3\sqrt{a}-5}{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(\sqrt{a}+4\right)x}{\sqrt{a}+4}=\frac{3\sqrt{a}-5}{2\left(\sqrt{a}+4\right)}
Divide both sides by 4+\sqrt{a}.
x=\frac{3\sqrt{a}-5}{2\left(\sqrt{a}+4\right)}
Dividing by 4+\sqrt{a} undoes the multiplication by 4+\sqrt{a}.
