Consider f(y)= y^3+3y-x
Let us assume x is a particular constant.
Then f'(y)= 3y^2+3 which is always greater than zero.
So since f(y) is a cubic in y, it is bound to have atleast one root, but since it is also an increasing function, hence there will be exactly one root.
Therefore for any real x there exists one and only real root of f(y). So f(y)=0 for single y only.
Or y^3+3y=x is a single valued function.
