a) Sub x = 3/2 into the equation

a(3/2)^2 - 3/2 + 6 = 0
9/4 a - 3/2 + 6 = 0
a = -2

b) Sub a = -2 into quadratic formula

x = 1+- square root{ (-1)^2 - 4(-2)(6) } / 2(-2)
x = 1 +- square root (1 + 48) / -4
x = 1 +- square root 49 / -4
x = (1 +- 7) / 4
x = 8/-4 or -6/-4
x = -2 or 3/2
so, the other root is -2


Hope u understand, it is difficult to type!
