y^{2}=4x-4a
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x-a.
4x-4a=y^{2}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-4a=y^{2}-4x
Subtract 4x from both sides.
\frac{-4a}{-4}=\frac{y^{2}-4x}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4.
a=\frac{y^{2}-4x}{-4}
Dividing by -4 undoes the multiplication by -4.
a=-\frac{y^{2}}{4}+x
Divide y^{2}-4x by -4.
y^{2}=4x-4a
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x-a.
4x-4a=y^{2}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
4x=y^{2}+4a
Add 4a to both sides.
\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{y^{2}+4a}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
x=\frac{y^{2}+4a}{4}
Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.
x=\frac{y^{2}}{4}+a
Divide y^{2}+4a by 4.
