2x^{2}-1=x^{2}A+\left(x-1\right)xB+\left(x-1\right)C
Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(x-1\right)x^{2}, the least common multiple of x^{2}\left(x-1\right),x-1,x,x^{2}.
2x^{2}-1=x^{2}A+\left(x^{2}-x\right)B+\left(x-1\right)C
Use the distributive property to multiply x-1 by x.
2x^{2}-1=x^{2}A+x^{2}B-xB+\left(x-1\right)C
Use the distributive property to multiply x^{2}-x by B.
2x^{2}-1=x^{2}A+x^{2}B-xB+xC-C
Use the distributive property to multiply x-1 by C.
x^{2}A+x^{2}B-xB+xC-C=2x^{2}-1
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x^{2}B-xB+xC-C=2x^{2}-1-x^{2}A
Subtract x^{2}A from both sides.
x^{2}B-xB-C=2x^{2}-1-x^{2}A-xC
Subtract xC from both sides.
x^{2}B-xB=2x^{2}-1-x^{2}A-xC+C
Add C to both sides.
Bx^{2}-Bx=-Ax^{2}+2x^{2}-Cx+C-1
Reorder the terms.
\left(x^{2}-x\right)B=-Ax^{2}+2x^{2}-Cx+C-1
Combine all terms containing B.
\frac{\left(x^{2}-x\right)B}{x^{2}-x}=\frac{-Ax^{2}+2x^{2}-Cx+C-1}{x^{2}-x}
Divide both sides by x^{2}-x.
B=\frac{-Ax^{2}+2x^{2}-Cx+C-1}{x^{2}-x}
Dividing by x^{2}-x undoes the multiplication by x^{2}-x.
B=\frac{-Ax^{2}+2x^{2}-Cx+C-1}{x\left(x-1\right)}
Divide -Ax^{2}+2x^{2}-Cx+C-1 by x^{2}-x.
2x^{2}-1=x^{2}A+\left(x-1\right)xB+\left(x-1\right)C
Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(x-1\right)x^{2}, the least common multiple of x^{2}\left(x-1\right),x-1,x,x^{2}.
2x^{2}-1=x^{2}A+\left(x^{2}-x\right)B+\left(x-1\right)C
Use the distributive property to multiply x-1 by x.
2x^{2}-1=x^{2}A+x^{2}B-xB+\left(x-1\right)C
Use the distributive property to multiply x^{2}-x by B.
2x^{2}-1=x^{2}A+x^{2}B-xB+xC-C
Use the distributive property to multiply x-1 by C.
x^{2}A+x^{2}B-xB+xC-C=2x^{2}-1
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x^{2}A-xB+xC-C=2x^{2}-1-x^{2}B
Subtract x^{2}B from both sides.
x^{2}A+xC-C=2x^{2}-1-x^{2}B+xB
Add xB to both sides.
x^{2}A-C=2x^{2}-1-x^{2}B+xB-xC
Subtract xC from both sides.
x^{2}A=2x^{2}-1-x^{2}B+xB-xC+C
Add C to both sides.
Ax^{2}=-Bx^{2}+2x^{2}+Bx-Cx+C-1
Reorder the terms.
x^{2}A=-Bx^{2}+2x^{2}+Bx-Cx+C-1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{x^{2}A}{x^{2}}=\frac{-Bx^{2}+2x^{2}+Bx-Cx+C-1}{x^{2}}
Divide both sides by x^{2}.
A=\frac{-Bx^{2}+2x^{2}+Bx-Cx+C-1}{x^{2}}
Dividing by x^{2} undoes the multiplication by x^{2}.
