\left(-a\right)x^{2}+2ax-2x+2=0
Multiply both sides of the equation by x\left(-x+2\right).
\left(-a\right)x^{2}+2ax+2=2x
Add 2x to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
\left(-a\right)x^{2}+2ax=2x-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
-ax^{2}+2ax=2x-2
Reorder the terms.
\left(-x^{2}+2x\right)a=2x-2
Combine all terms containing a.
\left(2x-x^{2}\right)a=2x-2
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(2x-x^{2}\right)a}{2x-x^{2}}=\frac{2x-2}{2x-x^{2}}
Divide both sides by -x^{2}+2x.
a=\frac{2x-2}{2x-x^{2}}
Dividing by -x^{2}+2x undoes the multiplication by -x^{2}+2x.
a=\frac{2\left(x-1\right)}{x\left(2-x\right)}
Divide -2+2x by -x^{2}+2x.
