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