x=kx^{2}+x-3x^{2}+2k-5
Use the distributive property to multiply 1-3x by x.
kx^{2}+x-3x^{2}+2k-5=x
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
kx^{2}-3x^{2}+2k-5=x-x
Subtract x from both sides.
kx^{2}-3x^{2}+2k-5=0
Combine x and -x to get 0.
kx^{2}+2k-5=3x^{2}
Add 3x^{2} to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
kx^{2}+2k=3x^{2}+5
Add 5 to both sides.
\left(x^{2}+2\right)k=3x^{2}+5
Combine all terms containing k.
\frac{\left(x^{2}+2\right)k}{x^{2}+2}=\frac{3x^{2}+5}{x^{2}+2}
Divide both sides by x^{2}+2.
k=\frac{3x^{2}+5}{x^{2}+2}
Dividing by x^{2}+2 undoes the multiplication by x^{2}+2.
