\mathsf{Let,}

\mathsf{a^4 \ = \ a^2}

\mathsf{And}

\mathsf{a^2 \ = \ a}

\mathsf{New \ Equation \ -}

\large\mathsf\red{a^2 - 15a - 34 \ = \ 0}

\mathsf{Using \ middle \ term \ factorisation}

\mathsf{a^2 - 17a + 2a - 34 \ = \ 0}

\mathsf{a(a - 17) + 2(a - 17) \ = \ 0}

\mathsf{(a + 2)(a - 17) \ = \ 0}

\mathsf{(a + 2) \ = \ 0 \ And \ (a - 17) \ = \ 0}

\huge\mathsf\blue{\boxed{a \ = \ -2, \ 17}}
