x^{3}+y^{3}=x^{3}+xy-xy^{2}+y^{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply x+y by x^{2}-xy+y and combine like terms.
x^{3}+y^{3}-x^{3}=xy-xy^{2}+y^{2}
Subtract x^{3} from both sides.
y^{3}=xy-xy^{2}+y^{2}
Combine x^{3} and -x^{3} to get 0.
xy-xy^{2}+y^{2}=y^{3}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
xy-xy^{2}=y^{3}-y^{2}
Subtract y^{2} from both sides.
\left(y-y^{2}\right)x=y^{3}-y^{2}
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(y-y^{2}\right)x}{y-y^{2}}=\frac{\left(y-1\right)y^{2}}{y-y^{2}}
Divide both sides by y-y^{2}.
x=\frac{\left(y-1\right)y^{2}}{y-y^{2}}
Dividing by y-y^{2} undoes the multiplication by y-y^{2}.
x=-y
Divide \left(-1+y\right)y^{2} by y-y^{2}.
x^{3}+y^{3}=x^{3}+xy-xy^{2}+y^{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply x+y by x^{2}-xy+y and combine like terms.
x^{3}+y^{3}-x^{3}=xy-xy^{2}+y^{2}
Subtract x^{3} from both sides.
y^{3}=xy-xy^{2}+y^{2}
Combine x^{3} and -x^{3} to get 0.
xy-xy^{2}+y^{2}=y^{3}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
xy-xy^{2}=y^{3}-y^{2}
Subtract y^{2} from both sides.
\left(y-y^{2}\right)x=y^{3}-y^{2}
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(y-y^{2}\right)x}{y-y^{2}}=\frac{\left(y-1\right)y^{2}}{y-y^{2}}
Divide both sides by y-y^{2}.
x=\frac{\left(y-1\right)y^{2}}{y-y^{2}}
Dividing by y-y^{2} undoes the multiplication by y-y^{2}.
x=-y
Divide \left(-1+y\right)y^{2} by y-y^{2}.
