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

ax^{2}+2b=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2b=y-ax^{2}
Subtract ax^{2} from both sides.
\frac{2b}{2}=\frac{y-ax^{2}}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
b=\frac{y-ax^{2}}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
