-\left(x^{2}-2x+1\right)+x^{2}+2x+1+2x=x^{2}+hx+1
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x-1\right)^{2}.
-x^{2}+2x-1+x^{2}+2x+1+2x=x^{2}+hx+1
To find the opposite of x^{2}-2x+1, find the opposite of each term.
2x-1+2x+1+2x=x^{2}+hx+1
Combine -x^{2} and x^{2} to get 0.
4x-1+1+2x=x^{2}+hx+1
Combine 2x and 2x to get 4x.
4x+2x=x^{2}+hx+1
Add -1 and 1 to get 0.
6x=x^{2}+hx+1
Combine 4x and 2x to get 6x.
x^{2}+hx+1=6x
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
hx+1=6x-x^{2}
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
hx=6x-x^{2}-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
xh=-x^{2}+6x-1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{xh}{x}=\frac{-x^{2}+6x-1}{x}
Divide both sides by x.
h=\frac{-x^{2}+6x-1}{x}
Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.
h=-x+6-\frac{1}{x}
Divide 6x-x^{2}-1 by x.
