Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to reverse the algebra and solve for y. First you want to subtract the 'a' to both sides.
x - a = -2by^2
Divide by -1 on both sides
-x + a = 2by^2
Divide by 2b on both sides
(-x + a)/2b = y^2
Take the square root of both sides
[tex]\sqrt{(-x+a)/2b}=y[/tex]
