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