P=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}a+1}
Divide each term of 3a+2 by 2 to get \frac{3}{2}a+1.
\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}a+1}=P
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{3}{2}a+1=P^{2}
Square both sides of the equation.
\frac{3}{2}a+1-1=P^{2}-1
Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation.
\frac{3}{2}a=P^{2}-1
Subtracting 1 from itself leaves 0.
\frac{\frac{3}{2}a}{\frac{3}{2}}=\frac{P^{2}-1}{\frac{3}{2}}
Divide both sides of the equation by \frac{3}{2}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
a=\frac{P^{2}-1}{\frac{3}{2}}
Dividing by \frac{3}{2} undoes the multiplication by \frac{3}{2}.
a=\frac{2P^{2}-2}{3}
Divide P^{2}-1 by \frac{3}{2} by multiplying P^{2}-1 by the reciprocal of \frac{3}{2}.
