a\left(x^{3}-x^{2}\right)+2=yx^{3}
Multiply both sides of the equation by x^{3}.
ax^{3}-ax^{2}+2=yx^{3}
Use the distributive property to multiply a by x^{3}-x^{2}.
ax^{3}-ax^{2}=yx^{3}-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
\left(x^{3}-x^{2}\right)a=yx^{3}-2
Combine all terms containing a.
\frac{\left(x^{3}-x^{2}\right)a}{x^{3}-x^{2}}=\frac{yx^{3}-2}{x^{3}-x^{2}}
Divide both sides by x^{3}-x^{2}.
a=\frac{yx^{3}-2}{x^{3}-x^{2}}
Dividing by x^{3}-x^{2} undoes the multiplication by x^{3}-x^{2}.
a=\frac{yx^{3}-2}{\left(x-1\right)x^{2}}
Divide yx^{3}-2 by x^{3}-x^{2}.
