\[\boxed{\mathbf{744\ (744).\ }Еуроки\ - \ ДЗ\ без\ мороки}\]
\[x_{1}² + x_{2}² = 9\]
\[\left( x_{1} + x_{2} \right)^{2} - 2x_{1}x_{2} = 9\]
\[x^{2} + (a - 1)x - 2a = 0\]
\[x_{1} + x_{2} = 1 - a\]
\[x_{1}x_{2} = - 2a\]
\[(1 - a)^{2} + 4a = 9\]
\[1 - 2a + a^{2} + 4a - 9 = 0\]
\[a^{2} + 2a - 8 = 0\]
\[a = - 4 \Longrightarrow не\ подходит.\]
\[a = 2\]
\[Ответ:при\ a = 2.\]
