    Please change your screenname, it is just a little presumptious that  somehow you should go to the head of the line.

1/(a-y) or (1/a) - y ?

    If it is 1/(a-y) = 1/y
then cross multiply to get y = a -y
solve for y in terms of a.
    
then cross multiply to get y = a -y
solve for y in terms of a.

    cross multiply is a very dangerous term for beginning students.  Change your thinking to
multipy both sides by y then
multiply both sides by a-y
giving
y=a-y
then add y to both sides
2y=a
divide both sides by 2
y=a/2
    
multipy both sides by y then
multiply both sides by a-y
giving
y=a-y
then add y to both sides
2y=a
divide both sides by 2
y=a/2
