yx_{4}=3x^{2}x_{4}-x^{3}x_{4}-x
Variable x_{4} cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x_{4}.
yx_{4}-3x^{2}x_{4}=-x^{3}x_{4}-x
Subtract 3x^{2}x_{4} from both sides.
yx_{4}-3x^{2}x_{4}+x^{3}x_{4}=-x
Add x^{3}x_{4} to both sides.
\left(y-3x^{2}+x^{3}\right)x_{4}=-x
Combine all terms containing x_{4}.
\left(x^{3}-3x^{2}+y\right)x_{4}=-x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(x^{3}-3x^{2}+y\right)x_{4}}{x^{3}-3x^{2}+y}=-\frac{x}{x^{3}-3x^{2}+y}
Divide both sides by y-3x^{2}+x^{3}.
x_{4}=-\frac{x}{x^{3}-3x^{2}+y}
Dividing by y-3x^{2}+x^{3} undoes the multiplication by y-3x^{2}+x^{3}.
x_{4}=-\frac{x}{x^{3}-3x^{2}+y}\text{, }x_{4}\neq 0
Variable x_{4} cannot be equal to 0.
