-7ax^{2}\times 25x-8ax\times 25x+100a\times 25x+1=x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 25x, the least common multiple of 25x,25.
-175ax^{2}x-8ax\times 25x+100a\times 25x+1=x
Multiply -7 and 25 to get -175.
-175ax^{3}-8ax\times 25x+100a\times 25x+1=x
To multiply powers of the same base, add their exponents. Add 2 and 1 to get 3.
-175ax^{3}-8ax^{2}\times 25+100a\times 25x+1=x
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
-175ax^{3}-200ax^{2}+100a\times 25x+1=x
Multiply -8 and 25 to get -200.
-175ax^{3}-200ax^{2}+2500ax+1=x
Multiply 100 and 25 to get 2500.
-175ax^{3}-200ax^{2}+2500ax=x-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
\left(-175x^{3}-200x^{2}+2500x\right)a=x-1
Combine all terms containing a.
\left(2500x-200x^{2}-175x^{3}\right)a=x-1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(2500x-200x^{2}-175x^{3}\right)a}{2500x-200x^{2}-175x^{3}}=\frac{x-1}{2500x-200x^{2}-175x^{3}}
Divide both sides by 2500x-175x^{3}-200x^{2}.
a=\frac{x-1}{2500x-200x^{2}-175x^{3}}
Dividing by 2500x-175x^{3}-200x^{2} undoes the multiplication by 2500x-175x^{3}-200x^{2}.
a=\frac{x-1}{25x\left(100-8x-7x^{2}\right)}
Divide x-1 by 2500x-175x^{3}-200x^{2}.
