 \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 2\\ 2 & 1 & -2\\ a & 2 & b \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & a\\ 2 & 1 & 2\\ 2 & -2 & b \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 9 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 9 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & 9 \end{bmatrix}               

by given condition

\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix} 9 & 0 & a+4+2b\\ 0 & 9 & 2a+2-2b\\ 0 & 0 & a^{2}+4+b^{2} \end{bmatrix}-\begin{bmatrix} 9 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 9 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & 9 \end{bmatrix}

\therefore a=-2
