The parabolas are equal if the lengths of their latus rectum are equal. The length of latus rectum of y2=ax is a.
The equation of second parabola can be written as  (x3)2+(y+2)2=(3x4y25)2
Here focus is (3,-2) directrix is 3x4y2=0
Length of the latus rectum =2 (distance between focus and directrix)
=2|94(2)29+16|=6
The two parabolas are  equal if a=6
