px+q=-x^{2}
Subtract x^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
px=-x^{2}-q
Subtract q from both sides.
xp=-x^{2}-q
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{xp}{x}=\frac{-x^{2}-q}{x}
Divide both sides by x.
p=\frac{-x^{2}-q}{x}
Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.
p=-x-\frac{q}{x}
Divide -x^{2}-q by x.
px+q=-x^{2}
Subtract x^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
px=-x^{2}-q
Subtract q from both sides.
