%28cross%28x%5E3%29%2Ay%5E2%29%2Fcross%28x%5E3%29=%28t%5E4%2Fw%29%2Fx%5E3Divide both sides by x%5E3
y%5E2=%28t%5E4%2Fw%29%2A%281%2Fx%5E3%29When dividing fractions invert the divisor (the bottom most term, in this case x%5E3 goes to 1%2Fx%5E3)
y%5E2=t%5E4%2F%28w%2Ax%5E3%29Multiply fractions
sqrt%28y%5E2%29=sqrt%28t%5E4%2F%28w%2Ax%5E3%29%29
y=0%2B-sqrt%28t%5E4%2F%28w%2Ax%5E3%29%29You can further simplify, but it is finally in y form (ignore the 0 in front)
