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