Answer:

x = -1

Explanation:

When an exponent is negative, you have to move it to the denominator (or to the numerator if it's already on the denominator). Since the answer is
(1)/(2), you know that the 2 has been raised to the power of 1 (any number to the power of 1 is the same number), so you just make it negative. Hope that helps!
