2a+ax^{2}+c=x^{2}+1-bx
Subtract bx from both sides.
2a+ax^{2}=x^{2}+1-bx-c
Subtract c from both sides.
\left(2+x^{2}\right)a=x^{2}+1-bx-c
Combine all terms containing a.
\left(x^{2}+2\right)a=x^{2}-bx-c+1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(x^{2}+2\right)a}{x^{2}+2}=\frac{x^{2}-bx-c+1}{x^{2}+2}
Divide both sides by 2+x^{2}.
a=\frac{x^{2}-bx-c+1}{x^{2}+2}
Dividing by 2+x^{2} undoes the multiplication by 2+x^{2}.
ax^{2}+bx+c=x^{2}+1-2a
Subtract 2a from both sides.
bx+c=x^{2}+1-2a-ax^{2}
Subtract ax^{2} from both sides.
bx=x^{2}+1-2a-ax^{2}-c
Subtract c from both sides.
bx=-ax^{2}+x^{2}-2a-c+1
Reorder the terms.
xb=1-2a-c+x^{2}-ax^{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{xb}{x}=\frac{1-2a-c+x^{2}-ax^{2}}{x}
Divide both sides by x.
b=\frac{1-2a-c+x^{2}-ax^{2}}{x}
Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.
