\sqrt{3x+1}a+1=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\sqrt{3x+1}a=y-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
\frac{\sqrt{3x+1}a}{\sqrt{3x+1}}=\frac{y-1}{\sqrt{3x+1}}
Divide both sides by \sqrt{3x+1}.
a=\frac{y-1}{\sqrt{3x+1}}
Dividing by \sqrt{3x+1} undoes the multiplication by \sqrt{3x+1}.
a=\left(3x+1\right)^{-\frac{1}{2}}\left(y-1\right)
Divide y-1 by \sqrt{3x+1}.
\sqrt{3x+1}a+1=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\sqrt{3x+1}a=y-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
\frac{\sqrt{3x+1}a}{\sqrt{3x+1}}=\frac{y-1}{\sqrt{3x+1}}
Divide both sides by \sqrt{3x+1}.
a=\frac{y-1}{\sqrt{3x+1}}
Dividing by \sqrt{3x+1} undoes the multiplication by \sqrt{3x+1}.
\sqrt{3x+1}a+1=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\sqrt{3x+1}a=y-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
\frac{a\sqrt{3x+1}}{a}=\frac{y-1}{a}
Divide both sides by a.
\sqrt{3x+1}=\frac{y-1}{a}
Dividing by a undoes the multiplication by a.
3x+1=\frac{\left(y-1\right)^{2}}{a^{2}}
Square both sides of the equation.
3x+1-1=\frac{\left(y-1\right)^{2}}{a^{2}}-1
Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation.
3x=\frac{\left(y-1\right)^{2}}{a^{2}}-1
Subtracting 1 from itself leaves 0.
3x=\frac{\left(y-1\right)^{2}-a^{2}}{a^{2}}
Subtract 1 from \frac{\left(-1+y\right)^{2}}{a^{2}}.
\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{\left(y-1\right)^{2}-a^{2}}{3a^{2}}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=\frac{\left(y-1\right)^{2}-a^{2}}{3a^{2}}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
