Hallo,$$\begin{aligned} \sqrt{45+a} + \sqrt a &= 15 &&|\,{}^2\\ 45 + a + 2\sqrt{a(45+a)} + a &= 225 &&|\,-45 \\ 2a + 2\sqrt{a(45+a)} &= 180 &&|\,\div 2\\ a + \sqrt{a(45+a)} &= 90 &&|\, -a \\ \sqrt{45a+a^2} &= 90 -a &&|\,{}^2\\ 45a + a^2 &= 90^2 - 180a + a^2 &&|\,-a^2 \\ 45a &= 90^2 - 180a &&|\,+180a \\ 225a &= 90^2 &&|\, \div 15^2 \\ a &= 6^2 = 36\end{aligned}$$
~plot~ sqrt(45+x)+sqrt(x);15;[[-4|45|-2|30]];x=36 ~plot~
