(3 + root(a))(4 + root(a)) = 17 + k(root(a)) where a and k are positive integers. Find the value of a and the value of k.

Let's open out the bracket using the FOIL method (first, outside, inside, last): (3 + root(a))(4 + root(a)) = 12 + 3root(a) + 4root(a) + (root(a)) 2 = 12 + 7root(a) + a. Since the answer 17 + k(root(a)) is i...
