1/x=1/2+2/x
isolate x to get all x terms on one side
1/x - 2/x=1/2
combine like terms
-1/x=1/2
1/x=-1/2
cross multiply
-x=2
x=-2
isolate x to get all x terms on one side
1/x - 2/x=1/2
combine like terms
-1/x=1/2
1/x=-1/2
cross multiply
-x=2
x=-2
-
1/x = 1/2 + 2/x
Multiply both sides by 2x, : 2 = x + 4
x = 2 -4 = -2 >=======================< ANSWER
Multiply both sides by 2x, : 2 = x + 4
x = 2 -4 = -2 >=======================< ANSWER
-
1/x = 1/2 + 2/x
=> 1/x - 2/x = 1/2
=> (1-2)/x = 1/2
=> -1/x = 1/2
=> -2 = x
=> 1/x - 2/x = 1/2
=> (1-2)/x = 1/2
=> -1/x = 1/2
=> -2 = x
