yy^{2}-xy=2xy-1
Multiply both sides of the equation by y.
y^{3}-xy=2xy-1
To multiply powers of the same base, add their exponents. Add 1 and 2 to get 3.
y^{3}-xy-2xy=-1
Subtract 2xy from both sides.
y^{3}-3xy=-1
Combine -xy and -2xy to get -3xy.
-3xy=-1-y^{3}
Subtract y^{3} from both sides.
\left(-3y\right)x=-y^{3}-1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-3y\right)x}{-3y}=\frac{-y^{3}-1}{-3y}
Divide both sides by -3y.
x=\frac{-y^{3}-1}{-3y}
Dividing by -3y undoes the multiplication by -3y.
x=\frac{y^{2}}{3}+\frac{1}{3y}
Divide -y^{3}-1 by -3y.
