We need to apply the Factor Theorem here.
We solve for the x of the g(x)
x+6=0
x=−6x
Now that we have the value of x, we substitute it.
x^3+3x^2+4x+a=0
(−6)^3+3(−6)^2+4(−6)+a=0
−216+3(36)+4(−6)+a=0
Next, we multiply the numbers to their coefficients.
−216+108−24+a=0
Since we have to find the value of a, we put the a on the other side or all the other numbers on the other side. In this case, let’s put all the other numbers on the other side.
a=216−108+24
a=216−132
a=84
Therefore, the value of a is 84.

You have asked for the value of 'a'
a=216−132
a=84 This is wrong because how -108+24 makes 132
