\lambda ^{2}-4x+2-\lambda ^{3}+4x\lambda -2\lambda +2\left(1-2\lambda \right)+\psi \left(\lambda -1\right)=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 1-\lambda by \lambda ^{2}-4x+2.
\lambda ^{2}-4x+2-\lambda ^{3}+4x\lambda -2\lambda +2-4\lambda +\psi \left(\lambda -1\right)=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 1-2\lambda .
\lambda ^{2}-4x+4-\lambda ^{3}+4x\lambda -2\lambda -4\lambda +\psi \left(\lambda -1\right)=0
Add 2 and 2 to get 4.
\lambda ^{2}-4x+4-\lambda ^{3}+4x\lambda -6\lambda +\psi \left(\lambda -1\right)=0
Combine -2\lambda and -4\lambda to get -6\lambda .
\lambda ^{2}-4x+4-\lambda ^{3}+4x\lambda -6\lambda +\psi \lambda -\psi =0
Use the distributive property to multiply \psi by \lambda -1.
-4x+4-\lambda ^{3}+4x\lambda -6\lambda +\psi \lambda -\psi =-\lambda ^{2}
Subtract \lambda ^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-4x-\lambda ^{3}+4x\lambda -6\lambda +\psi \lambda -\psi =-\lambda ^{2}-4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
-4x+4x\lambda -6\lambda +\psi \lambda -\psi =-\lambda ^{2}-4+\lambda ^{3}
Add \lambda ^{3} to both sides.
-4x+4x\lambda +\psi \lambda -\psi =-\lambda ^{2}-4+\lambda ^{3}+6\lambda
Add 6\lambda to both sides.
-4x+4x\lambda -\psi =-\lambda ^{2}-4+\lambda ^{3}+6\lambda -\psi \lambda
Subtract \psi \lambda from both sides.
-4x+4x\lambda =-\lambda ^{2}-4+\lambda ^{3}+6\lambda -\psi \lambda +\psi
Add \psi to both sides.
\left(-4+4\lambda \right)x=-\lambda ^{2}-4+\lambda ^{3}+6\lambda -\psi \lambda +\psi
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(4\lambda -4\right)x=\lambda ^{3}-\lambda ^{2}-\lambda \psi +6\lambda +\psi -4
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(4\lambda -4\right)x}{4\lambda -4}=\frac{\lambda ^{3}-\lambda ^{2}-\lambda \psi +6\lambda +\psi -4}{4\lambda -4}
Divide both sides by 4\lambda -4.
x=\frac{\lambda ^{3}-\lambda ^{2}-\lambda \psi +6\lambda +\psi -4}{4\lambda -4}
Dividing by 4\lambda -4 undoes the multiplication by 4\lambda -4.
x=\frac{\lambda ^{3}-\lambda ^{2}-\lambda \psi +6\lambda +\psi -4}{4\left(\lambda -1\right)}
Divide -\lambda ^{2}-4+\lambda ^{3}+6\lambda -\psi \lambda +\psi by 4\lambda -4.
