Question

solve 1-x=x
----
x

Answer 1

You can solve this by multiplying both sides by x and then adding x and subtracting 1 to get x^2+x-1=0 which you can solve by plugging it into your calculator or using the quadratic formula

Answer 2

would it be posible to show this using the numbers and the variables so i can understand it better

Answer 3

sure
\[(1-x)/x =x\]
\[x * (1-x)/x = x * x \]
\[1-x = x^2\]
\[1-x - 1 + x= x^2 +x -1\]
Everything cancels out to get
\[x^2+x-1=0\]
Hope this helps!

Answer 4

sorry, but how did you get 1-x-1+x=x^2+x-1

Answer 5

That's a perfectly fine question to ask.
I just subtracted 1 and added x to both sides of the equation.
