x^{2}+kx-2x-k+3=0
Use the distributive property to multiply k-2 by x.
kx-2x-k+3=-x^{2}
Subtract x^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
kx-k+3=-x^{2}+2x
Add 2x to both sides.
kx-k=-x^{2}+2x-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
\left(x-1\right)k=-x^{2}+2x-3
Combine all terms containing k.
\frac{\left(x-1\right)k}{x-1}=\frac{-x^{2}+2x-3}{x-1}
Divide both sides by x-1.
k=\frac{-x^{2}+2x-3}{x-1}
Dividing by x-1 undoes the multiplication by x-1.
