$$\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{20}}{{a}}}={a}−\mathrm{7}\:\:\:\Rightarrow\:\:\sqrt{\mathrm{5}{a}}=\frac{{a}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{7}{a}}{\mathrm{2}}\:\: \\ $$$$\sqrt{\mathrm{5}{a}}−{a}=\frac{\mathrm{5}{a}−{a}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\:\sqrt{\mathrm{5}{a}}+{a}}=\frac{\mathrm{5}{a}−{a}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\frac{{a}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{7}{a}}{\mathrm{2}}+{a}}=\frac{\mathrm{5}{a}−{a}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\frac{{a}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{5}{a}}{\mathrm{2}}}=−\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$ \\ $$
