Greetings!

2a^3-3a^2=8a-12
Add -(8a-12) to both sides.
(2a^3-3a^2)+-(8a-12)=8a-12-(8a-12)
Simplify.
2a^3-3a^2-8a+12=0
Rearrange.
2a^3-8a-3a^2+12=0
Factor Out 2a.
2a(a^2-4)-3a^2+12=0
Factor Out the difference of squares.
2a(a-2)(a+2)-3a^2+12=0
Factor out -3.
2a(a-2)(a+2)-3(a^2-4)=0
Factor Out the difference of squares.
2a(a-2)(a+2)-3(a-2)(a+2)=0
Find Common Factor.
(a+2)(a-2)(2a-3)=0
Set Factors to Equal 0.
(a+2)=0 \\  \\ (a-2)=0 \\  \\ (2a-3)=0
a=-2 \\ \\ a=2 \\ \\ a=3/2

Hope this helps.
