2bx+c=-a^{2}
Subtract a^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
2bx=-a^{2}-c
Subtract c from both sides.
\frac{2bx}{2b}=\frac{-a^{2}-c}{2b}
Divide both sides by 2b.
x=\frac{-a^{2}-c}{2b}
Dividing by 2b undoes the multiplication by 2b.
x=-\frac{a^{2}+c}{2b}
Divide -a^{2}-c by 2b.
