-2ax-1=-\left(x\times 2^{x}-2^{x}\right)
Subtract x\times 2^{x}-2^{x} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-2ax=-\left(x\times 2^{x}-2^{x}\right)+1
Add 1 to both sides.
-2ax=-x\times 2^{x}+2^{x}+1
To find the opposite of x\times 2^{x}-2^{x}, find the opposite of each term.
\left(-2x\right)a=1+2^{x}-x\times 2^{x}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-2x\right)a}{-2x}=\frac{1+2^{x}-x\times 2^{x}}{-2x}
Divide both sides by -2x.
a=\frac{1+2^{x}-x\times 2^{x}}{-2x}
Dividing by -2x undoes the multiplication by -2x.
a=-\frac{1+2^{x}-x\times 2^{x}}{2x}
Divide -x\times 2^{x}+2^{x}+1 by -2x.
