x^{2}+2ax+1-2a=\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(f)x
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2ax+1-2a=\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(f)x-x^{2}
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
2ax-2a=\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(f)x-x^{2}-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
\left(2x-2\right)a=\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(f)x-x^{2}-1
Combine all terms containing a.
\left(2x-2\right)a=-x^{2}-1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(2x-2\right)a}{2x-2}=\frac{-x^{2}-1}{2x-2}
Divide both sides by 2x-2.
a=\frac{-x^{2}-1}{2x-2}
Dividing by 2x-2 undoes the multiplication by 2x-2.
a=-\frac{x^{2}+1}{2\left(x-1\right)}
Divide -x^{2}-1 by 2x-2.
