This might not be what you wanted.

If equation is really a%5E2%2Fb%5E2=%28x%2Bb%29%2F%28x%2Ba%29

a%5E2x%2Ba%5E3=b%5E2x%2Bb%5E3
a%5E2x-b%5E2x=b%5E3-a%5E3
%28a%5E2-b%5E2%29x=b%5E3-a%5E3
x=%28b%5E3-a%5E3%29%2F%28a%5E2-b%5E2%29,
x=%28%28b-a%29%28b%5E2%2Bab%2Ba%5E2%29%29%2F%28a%5E2-b%5E2%29, difference_of_cubes_formula
x=-%28a-b%29%28b%5E2%2Bab%2Ba%5E2%29%2F%28%28a-b%29%28a%2Bb%29%29
highlight%28x=%28-%28b%5E2%2Bab%2Ba%5E2%29%29%2F%28a%2Bb%29%29
