Answer:

inverse 1/5 = (1/5)^-1

=1/(1/5)¹ = 1/(1/5) = 1(5/1) = 5/1 = 5

inverse 2x-1/5 = (2x-1/5)^-1

=1/(2x-1/5)¹ =1/(2x-1/5)

=1/(10x/5 - 1/5) = 1/(10x-1 / 5)

=1(5 / 10x-1) = 5 / 10x-1

Answer:

You multiply 5 by 1/5 to get 1. So with 2x, you multiply by 1/(2x) to get 1. That's about all you know, since we only know that x is positive.
