kx^{2}-a=-12x
Subtract 12x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
kx^{2}=-12x+a
Add a to both sides.
x^{2}k=a-12x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{x^{2}k}{x^{2}}=\frac{a-12x}{x^{2}}
Divide both sides by x^{2}.
k=\frac{a-12x}{x^{2}}
Dividing by x^{2} undoes the multiplication by x^{2}.
12x-a=-kx^{2}
Subtract kx^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-a=-kx^{2}-12x
Subtract 12x from both sides.
\frac{-a}{-1}=-\frac{x\left(kx+12\right)}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
a=-\frac{x\left(kx+12\right)}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
a=x\left(kx+12\right)
Divide -x\left(kx+12\right) by -1.
