y=%28x-z%29%2F%28a%5E2bx%29+
%28a%5E2bx%29%2Ay=cross%28a%5E2bx%29%2A%28x-z%29%2Fcross%28a%5E2bx%29+Multiply each side by a%5E2bx
%28a%5E2bx%29%2Ay-x=cross%28x-x%29-zSubtract x from each side
x%28a%5E2by-1%29=-zFactor out x on the left side
%28x%2Across%28a%5E2by-1%29%29%2Fcross%28a%5E2by-1%29=-z%2F%28a%5E2by-1%29Divide each side by %28a%5E2by-1%29
x=-z%2F%28a%5E2by-1%29
