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