5ax^{2}y^{2}=1x^{5}+y^{5}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
5ax^{2}y^{2}=x^{5}+y^{5}
Reorder the terms.
5x^{2}y^{2}a=x^{5}+y^{5}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{5x^{2}y^{2}a}{5x^{2}y^{2}}=\frac{x^{5}+y^{5}}{5x^{2}y^{2}}
Divide both sides by 5x^{2}y^{2}.
a=\frac{x^{5}+y^{5}}{5x^{2}y^{2}}
Dividing by 5x^{2}y^{2} undoes the multiplication by 5x^{2}y^{2}.
a=\frac{x^{5}+y^{5}}{5\left(xy\right)^{2}}
Divide x^{5}+y^{5} by 5x^{2}y^{2}.
