6-x-x^{2}a=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-x-x^{2}a=y-6
Subtract 6 from both sides.
-x^{2}a=y-6+x
Add x to both sides.
\left(-x^{2}\right)a=x+y-6
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-x^{2}\right)a}{-x^{2}}=\frac{x+y-6}{-x^{2}}
Divide both sides by -x^{2}.
a=\frac{x+y-6}{-x^{2}}
Dividing by -x^{2} undoes the multiplication by -x^{2}.
a=-\frac{x+y-6}{x^{2}}
Divide x-6+y by -x^{2}.
