-2x+4-kx+2k=-x^{2}
Subtract x^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
4-kx+2k=-x^{2}+2x
Add 2x to both sides.
-kx+2k=-x^{2}+2x-4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
\left(-x+2\right)k=-x^{2}+2x-4
Combine all terms containing k.
\left(2-x\right)k=-x^{2}+2x-4
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(2-x\right)k}{2-x}=\frac{-x^{2}+2x-4}{2-x}
Divide both sides by -x+2.
k=\frac{-x^{2}+2x-4}{2-x}
Dividing by -x+2 undoes the multiplication by -x+2.
