xy=c\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by x^{2}+y^{2}.
xy=cx^{2}+cy^{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply c by x^{2}+y^{2}.
cx^{2}+cy^{2}=xy
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right)c=xy
Combine all terms containing c.
\frac{\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right)c}{x^{2}+y^{2}}=\frac{xy}{x^{2}+y^{2}}
Divide both sides by x^{2}+y^{2}.
c=\frac{xy}{x^{2}+y^{2}}
Dividing by x^{2}+y^{2} undoes the multiplication by x^{2}+y^{2}.
