Reorder the terms.
\left(-\sqrt{3}+2\right)a=10
Combine all terms containing a.
\left(2-\sqrt{3}\right)a=10
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(2-\sqrt{3}\right)a}{2-\sqrt{3}}=\frac{10}{2-\sqrt{3}}
Divide both sides by -\sqrt{3}+2.
a=\frac{10}{2-\sqrt{3}}
Dividing by -\sqrt{3}+2 undoes the multiplication by -\sqrt{3}+2.
a=10\sqrt{3}+20
Divide 10 by -\sqrt{3}+2.
