ax^{2}+35=-bx
Subtract bx from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
ax^{2}=-bx-35
Subtract 35 from both sides.
x^{2}a=-bx-35
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{x^{2}a}{x^{2}}=\frac{-bx-35}{x^{2}}
Divide both sides by x^{2}.
a=\frac{-bx-35}{x^{2}}
Dividing by x^{2} undoes the multiplication by x^{2}.
a=-\frac{bx+35}{x^{2}}
Divide -bx-35 by x^{2}.
bx+35=-ax^{2}
Subtract ax^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
bx=-ax^{2}-35
Subtract 35 from both sides.
xb=-ax^{2}-35
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{xb}{x}=\frac{-ax^{2}-35}{x}
Divide both sides by x.
b=\frac{-ax^{2}-35}{x}
Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.
b=-ax-\frac{35}{x}
Divide -ax^{2}-35 by x.
