1/8 = 1/(1-6x)

\frac{1}{8} = \frac{1}{1 - 6 x}

x = - \frac{7}{6}

Solution steps

\frac{1}{8} = \frac{1}{1 - 6 x}

Cross multiply

1 - 6 x = 8

Move

1

to the right side

- 6 x = 7

Divide both sides by

- 6

x = - \frac{7}{6}

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = \frac{1}{6}

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = - \frac{7}{6}

I = \frac{PN}{RN + A}, N

\frac{- 2}{x} = \frac{7}{x - 9} - 1

\frac{4}{r} = \frac{r}{9}

1 0^{5} = \frac{10}{b ^{3}}

\frac{42}{x} = 7
