x^{3}+x-1+2a=0
Variable a cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by a.
x-1+2a=-x^{3}
Subtract x^{3} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-1+2a=-x^{3}-x
Subtract x from both sides.
2a=-x^{3}-x+1
Add 1 to both sides.
2a=1-x-x^{3}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2a}{2}=\frac{1-x-x^{3}}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
a=\frac{1-x-x^{3}}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
a=\frac{1-x-x^{3}}{2}\text{, }a\neq 0
Variable a cannot be equal to 0.
