p_{y}y^{\frac{4}{3}}=2xp_{x}
Variable p_{y} cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by p_{y}x, the least common multiple of x,p_{y}.
y^{\frac{4}{3}}p_{y}=2p_{x}x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{y^{\frac{4}{3}}p_{y}}{y^{\frac{4}{3}}}=\frac{2p_{x}x}{y^{\frac{4}{3}}}
Divide both sides by y^{\frac{4}{3}}.
p_{y}=\frac{2p_{x}x}{y^{\frac{4}{3}}}
Dividing by y^{\frac{4}{3}} undoes the multiplication by y^{\frac{4}{3}}.
p_{y}=2y^{-\frac{4}{3}}p_{x}x
Divide 2xp_{x} by y^{\frac{4}{3}}.
p_{y}=2y^{-\frac{4}{3}}p_{x}x\text{, }p_{y}\neq 0
Variable p_{y} cannot be equal to 0.
p_{y}y^{\frac{4}{3}}=2xp_{x}
Multiply both sides of the equation by p_{y}x, the least common multiple of x,p_{y}.
2xp_{x}=p_{y}y^{\frac{4}{3}}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{2xp_{x}}{2x}=\frac{p_{y}y^{\frac{4}{3}}}{2x}
Divide both sides by 2x.
p_{x}=\frac{p_{y}y^{\frac{4}{3}}}{2x}
Dividing by 2x undoes the multiplication by 2x.
p_{y}y^{\frac{4}{3}}=2xp_{x}
Variable p_{y} cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by p_{y}x, the least common multiple of x,p_{y}.
y^{\frac{4}{3}}p_{y}=2p_{x}x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{y^{\frac{4}{3}}p_{y}}{y^{\frac{4}{3}}}=\frac{2p_{x}x}{y^{\frac{4}{3}}}
Divide both sides by y^{\frac{4}{3}}.
p_{y}=\frac{2p_{x}x}{y^{\frac{4}{3}}}
Dividing by y^{\frac{4}{3}} undoes the multiplication by y^{\frac{4}{3}}.
p_{y}=\frac{2p_{x}x}{y^{\frac{4}{3}}}\text{, }p_{y}\neq 0
Variable p_{y} cannot be equal to 0.
