x^{2}-kx^{2}+x+1-k=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 1-k by x^{2}.
-kx^{2}+x+1-k=-x^{2}
Subtract x^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-kx^{2}+1-k=-x^{2}-x
Subtract x from both sides.
-kx^{2}-k=-x^{2}-x-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
\left(-x^{2}-1\right)k=-x^{2}-x-1
Combine all terms containing k.
\frac{\left(-x^{2}-1\right)k}{-x^{2}-1}=\frac{-x^{2}-x-1}{-x^{2}-1}
Divide both sides by -x^{2}-1.
k=\frac{-x^{2}-x-1}{-x^{2}-1}
Dividing by -x^{2}-1 undoes the multiplication by -x^{2}-1.
k=\frac{x^{2}+x+1}{x^{2}+1}
Divide -x^{2}-x-1 by -x^{2}-1.
x^{2}-kx^{2}+x+1-k=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 1-k by x^{2}.
-kx^{2}+x+1-k=-x^{2}
Subtract x^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-kx^{2}+1-k=-x^{2}-x
Subtract x from both sides.
-kx^{2}-k=-x^{2}-x-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
\left(-x^{2}-1\right)k=-x^{2}-x-1
Combine all terms containing k.
\frac{\left(-x^{2}-1\right)k}{-x^{2}-1}=\frac{-x^{2}-x-1}{-x^{2}-1}
Divide both sides by -x^{2}-1.
k=\frac{-x^{2}-x-1}{-x^{2}-1}
Dividing by -x^{2}-1 undoes the multiplication by -x^{2}-1.
k=\frac{x^{2}+x+1}{x^{2}+1}
Divide -x^{2}-x-1 by -x^{2}-1.
