Given that y is negative , make y the subject of
y = √ay^2 + x

My answer was y= √-x/a-1 but it's wrong.

1. you can't make anything the subject of √ay^2 + x because it's an expression not an equation.
2. your format is unclear since we can't tell what's square rooted in the original expression.
3. why are you asking us to do your homework for you.

Error 404 equal sign not found

EDIT: it was prolly a typo so that + was an = in reality

EDIT 2: in the end it turns out OP forgot the = sign

I'm going to assume the equation was: square root of (ay^2) = x

Because = and + are on the same key so was just a typo possibly.

Then start by squaring both sides and go from there.
