Question

If a doesn't equal 0 and the sum of x and 1/a is 0, what does x equal?

Answer 1

-1/a

Explanation:

If a doesn't equal 0 and the sum of x and 1/a is 0, what does x equal?

the sum of x and 1/a is expressed as;

x + 1/a

Equating this to zero

x + 1/a = 0

Find x:

Substract 1/a from bith sides

x + 1/a - 1/a = 0- 1/a

x = -1/a

Hence the value of x is -1/a
