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