18-16k_{2}-2k_{1}^{2}-16k_{1}=0
Multiply both sides of the equation by -k_{1}+9.
-16k_{2}-2k_{1}^{2}-16k_{1}=-18
Subtract 18 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-16k_{2}-16k_{1}=-18+2k_{1}^{2}
Add 2k_{1}^{2} to both sides.
-16k_{2}=-18+2k_{1}^{2}+16k_{1}
Add 16k_{1} to both sides.
-16k_{2}=2k_{1}^{2}+16k_{1}-18
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-16k_{2}}{-16}=\frac{2\left(k_{1}-1\right)\left(k_{1}+9\right)}{-16}
Divide both sides by -16.
k_{2}=\frac{2\left(k_{1}-1\right)\left(k_{1}+9\right)}{-16}
Dividing by -16 undoes the multiplication by -16.
k_{2}=-\frac{\left(k_{1}-1\right)\left(k_{1}+9\right)}{8}
Divide 2\left(-1+k_{1}\right)\left(9+k_{1}\right) by -16.
