ax^{3}=-bx^{2}
Subtract bx^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x^{3}a=-bx^{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{x^{3}a}{x^{3}}=-\frac{bx^{2}}{x^{3}}
Divide both sides by x^{3}.
a=-\frac{bx^{2}}{x^{3}}
Dividing by x^{3} undoes the multiplication by x^{3}.
a=-\frac{b}{x}
Divide -bx^{2} by x^{3}.
bx^{2}=-ax^{3}
Subtract ax^{3} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x^{2}b=-ax^{3}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{x^{2}b}{x^{2}}=-\frac{ax^{3}}{x^{2}}
Divide both sides by x^{2}.
b=-\frac{ax^{3}}{x^{2}}
Dividing by x^{2} undoes the multiplication by x^{2}.
b=-ax
Divide -ax^{3} by x^{2}.
ax^{3}=-bx^{2}
Subtract bx^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x^{3}a=-bx^{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{x^{3}a}{x^{3}}=-\frac{bx^{2}}{x^{3}}

a=-\frac{b}{x}
Divide -bx^{2} by x^{3}.
bx^{2}=-ax^{3}
Subtract ax^{3} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x^{2}b=-ax^{3}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{x^{2}b}{x^{2}}=-\frac{ax^{3}}{x^{2}}
Divide both sides by x^{2}.
b=-\frac{ax^{3}}{x^{2}}
Dividing by x^{2} undoes the multiplication by x^{2}.
b=-ax
Divide -ax^{3} by x^{2}.
