\frac{1}{3}x^{3}+ax+1=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
ax+1=y-\frac{1}{3}x^{3}
Subtract \frac{1}{3}x^{3} from both sides.
ax=y-\frac{1}{3}x^{3}-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
xa=-\frac{x^{3}}{3}+y-1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{xa}{x}=\frac{-\frac{x^{3}}{3}+y-1}{x}
Divide both sides by x.
a=\frac{-\frac{x^{3}}{3}+y-1}{x}
Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.
a=-\frac{x^{2}}{3}+\frac{y-1}{x}
Divide y-\frac{x^{3}}{3}-1 by x.
