 2              2         
a  - 4*a*x + 4*x  - 36 = 0
$$a^{2} - 4 a x + 4 x^{2} - 36 = 0$$
Detail solution
This equation is of the form
a*a^2 + b*a + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$a_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$a_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 1$$
$$b = - 4 x$$
$$c = 4 x^{2} - 36$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(-4*x)^2 - 4 * (1) * (-36 + 4*x^2) = 144

Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
a1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

a2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$a_{1} = 2 x + 6$$
Simplify
$$a_{2} = 2 x - 6$$
Simplify
Vieta's Theorem
it is reduced quadratic equation
$$a^{2} + a p + q = 0$$
where
$$p = \frac{b}{a}$$
$$p = - 4 x$$
$$q = \frac{c}{a}$$
$$q = 4 x^{2} - 36$$
Vieta Formulas
$$a_{1} + a_{2} = - p$$
$$a_{1} a_{2} = q$$
$$a_{1} + a_{2} = 4 x$$
$$a_{1} a_{2} = 4 x^{2} - 36$$

Rapid solution [src]
a1 = -6 + 2*x
$$a_{1} = 2 x - 6$$
a2 = 6 + 2*x
$$a_{2} = 2 x + 6$$
Sum and product of roots [src]
sum
0 + -6 + 2*x + 6 + 2*x
$$\left(2 x + 6\right) + \left(\left(2 x - 6\right) + 0\right)$$
=
4*x
$$4 x$$
product
1*(-6 + 2*x)*(6 + 2*x)
$$1 \cdot \left(2 x - 6\right) \left(2 x + 6\right)$$
=
