Question

1/x = 2+1/y
make x as a subject

Answer 1

reciprocate both sides

Answer 2

Zarkon's right, reciprocating will get you the right answer. Do you know what "reciprocating" is?

Answer 3

i dont know

Answer 4

does making x as a subject means x = (whatever the equation is?)

Answer 5

\[1/x = 2+ (1/y) \] SOLVE for the terms in the right side of the equation
\[1/x=(2y+1)/y\] Cross multiply
\[y= 2xy+x\] Then factor
y= x(2y+1) Since we're looking for x
\[x= y/(2y+1)\]

Answer 6

Doing the reciprocal is taking the fraction and flipping it. Cross multiplying is also a good way, as herschelle pointed out. Usually much easier, actually.

Answer 7

thank you
