bx=ax^{2}+a
Variable a cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by a.
ax^{2}+a=bx
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\left(x^{2}+1\right)a=bx
Combine all terms containing a.
\frac{\left(x^{2}+1\right)a}{x^{2}+1}=\frac{bx}{x^{2}+1}
Divide both sides by x^{2}+1.
a=\frac{bx}{x^{2}+1}
Dividing by x^{2}+1 undoes the multiplication by x^{2}+1.
a=\frac{bx}{x^{2}+1}\text{, }a\neq 0
Variable a cannot be equal to 0.
bx=ax^{2}+a
Variable a cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by a.
ax^{2}+a=bx
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\left(x^{2}+1\right)a=bx
Combine all terms containing a.
\frac{\left(x^{2}+1\right)a}{x^{2}+1}=\frac{bx}{x^{2}+1}
Divide both sides by x^{2}+1.
a=\frac{bx}{x^{2}+1}
Dividing by x^{2}+1 undoes the multiplication by x^{2}+1.
a=\frac{bx}{x^{2}+1}\text{, }a\neq 0
Variable a cannot be equal to 0.
bx=ax^{2}+a
Multiply both sides of the equation by a.
xb=ax^{2}+a
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{xb}{x}=\frac{ax^{2}+a}{x}
Divide both sides by x.
b=\frac{ax^{2}+a}{x}
Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.
b=ax+\frac{a}{x}
Divide ax^{2}+a by x.
