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