y^{3}-3axy=-x^{3}
Subtract x^{3} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-3axy=-x^{3}-y^{3}
Subtract y^{3} from both sides.
\left(-3xy\right)a=-x^{3}-y^{3}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-3xy\right)a}{-3xy}=\frac{-x^{3}-y^{3}}{-3xy}
Divide both sides by -3xy.
a=\frac{-x^{3}-y^{3}}{-3xy}
Dividing by -3xy undoes the multiplication by -3xy.
a=\frac{x^{2}}{3y}+\frac{y^{2}}{3x}
Divide -x^{3}-y^{3} by -3xy.
