Answer:

See below

Explanation:

x=a-2by^2 Subtract 'a' from both sides

x -a = - 2 by^2 divide both sides by - 2b

(a-x)/2b = y^2 sqrt both sides

y = +- sqrt ( (a-x)/2b))

Answer:

y = ±
\sqrt{((a-x))/(2b)}

Explanation:

x = a - 2by²

Take -2by² to the left side.

x + 2by² = a

Take x to the left side.

2by² = a - x

Divide both sides by 2b.

y² =
((a-x))/(2b)

Now remove the y square.

y = ±
\sqrt{((a-x))/(2b)}
