-2\lambda x+\lambda =-x^{2}
Subtract x^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(-2x+1\right)\lambda =-x^{2}
Combine all terms containing \lambda .
\left(1-2x\right)\lambda =-x^{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(1-2x\right)\lambda }{1-2x}=-\frac{x^{2}}{1-2x}
Divide both sides by -2x+1.
\lambda =-\frac{x^{2}}{1-2x}
Dividing by -2x+1 undoes the multiplication by -2x+1.
