2ax^{2}-ax=-1
Subtract 1 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(2x^{2}-x\right)a=-1
Combine all terms containing a.
\frac{\left(2x^{2}-x\right)a}{2x^{2}-x}=-\frac{1}{2x^{2}-x}
Divide both sides by 2x^{2}-x.
a=-\frac{1}{2x^{2}-x}
Dividing by 2x^{2}-x undoes the multiplication by 2x^{2}-x.
a=-\frac{1}{x\left(2x-1\right)}
Divide -1 by 2x^{2}-x.
