\left(x^{2}+y^{2}-\left(x-y\right)^{2}+2y\left(x-y\right)\right)y=4
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4.
\left(x^{2}+y^{2}-\left(x^{2}-2xy+y^{2}\right)+2y\left(x-y\right)\right)y=4
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x-y\right)^{2}.
\left(x^{2}+y^{2}-x^{2}+2xy-y^{2}+2y\left(x-y\right)\right)y=4
To find the opposite of x^{2}-2xy+y^{2}, find the opposite of each term.
\left(y^{2}+2xy-y^{2}+2y\left(x-y\right)\right)y=4
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
\left(2xy+2y\left(x-y\right)\right)y=4
Combine y^{2} and -y^{2} to get 0.
\left(2xy+2yx-2y^{2}\right)y=4
Use the distributive property to multiply 2y by x-y.
\left(4xy-2y^{2}\right)y=4
Combine 2xy and 2yx to get 4xy.
4xy^{2}-2y^{3}=4
Use the distributive property to multiply 4xy-2y^{2} by y.
4xy^{2}=4+2y^{3}
Add 2y^{3} to both sides.
4y^{2}x=2y^{3}+4
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{4y^{2}x}{4y^{2}}=\frac{2y^{3}+4}{4y^{2}}
Divide both sides by 4y^{2}.
x=\frac{2y^{3}+4}{4y^{2}}
Dividing by 4y^{2} undoes the multiplication by 4y^{2}.
x=\frac{y}{2}+\frac{1}{y^{2}}
Divide 4+2y^{3} by 4y^{2}.
