-x^{2}-\alpha +4=2\left(x^{2}-2x+1\right)
Combine -x and -x to get -2x.
-x^{2}-\alpha +4=2x^{2}-4x+2
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x^{2}-2x+1.
-\alpha +4=2x^{2}-4x+2+x^{2}
Add x^{2} to both sides.
-\alpha +4=3x^{2}-4x+2
Combine 2x^{2} and x^{2} to get 3x^{2}.
-\alpha =3x^{2}-4x+2-4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
-\alpha =3x^{2}-4x-2
Subtract 4 from 2 to get -2.
\frac{-\alpha }{-1}=\frac{3x^{2}-4x-2}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
\alpha =\frac{3x^{2}-4x-2}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
\alpha =2+4x-3x^{2}
Divide 3x^{2}-4x-2 by -1.
