ax^{2}+bx+c=-11
Subtract 11 from 0 to get -11.
ax^{2}+c=-11-bx
Subtract bx from both sides.
ax^{2}=-11-bx-c
Subtract c from both sides.
x^{2}a=-bx-c-11
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{x^{2}a}{x^{2}}=\frac{-bx-c-11}{x^{2}}
Divide both sides by x^{2}.
a=\frac{-bx-c-11}{x^{2}}
Dividing by x^{2} undoes the multiplication by x^{2}.
a=-\frac{bx+c+11}{x^{2}}
Divide -11-bx-c by x^{2}.
ax^{2}+bx+c=-11
Subtract 11 from 0 to get -11.
bx+c=-11-ax^{2}
Subtract ax^{2} from both sides.
bx=-11-ax^{2}-c
Subtract c from both sides.
bx=-ax^{2}-c-11
Reorder the terms.
xb=-ax^{2}-c-11
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{xb}{x}=\frac{-ax^{2}-c-11}{x}
Divide both sides by x.
b=\frac{-ax^{2}-c-11}{x}
Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.
b=-\frac{ax^{2}+c+11}{x}
Divide -ax^{2}-c-11 by x.
ax^{2}+bx+c=-11
