ax^{2}+2x-\alpha +2=0
To find the opposite of \alpha -2, find the opposite of each term.
ax^{2}-\alpha +2=-2x
Subtract 2x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
ax^{2}+2=-2x+\alpha
Add \alpha to both sides.
ax^{2}=-2x+\alpha -2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
x^{2}a=-2x+\alpha -2
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{x^{2}a}{x^{2}}=\frac{-2x+\alpha -2}{x^{2}}
Divide both sides by x^{2}.
a=\frac{-2x+\alpha -2}{x^{2}}
Dividing by x^{2} undoes the multiplication by x^{2}.
