Answer:

Your answer would be x = 1/2

Explanation:

1/x = 2

You would divide x on both sides...then they would cancel each other out.

But now you're left with...

1 = x•2

So, re-order the terms so constants are on the left

1 = 2x

Divide 2 on both sides...

Now you're left with

1/2=x or more practically it would be x = 1/2

Hope this helps!
