-4x-5=-3a^{2}
Subtract 3a^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-4x=-3a^{2}+5
Add 5 to both sides.
-4x=5-3a^{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-4x}{-4}=\frac{5-3a^{2}}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4.
x=\frac{5-3a^{2}}{-4}
Dividing by -4 undoes the multiplication by -4.
x=\frac{3a^{2}-5}{4}
Divide -3a^{2}+5 by -4.
