(-1)/x =1

\frac{- 1}{x} = 1

x = - 1

Solution steps

\frac{- 1}{x} = 1

Simplify

\frac{- 1}{x} : - \frac{1}{x}

- \frac{1}{x} = 1

Multiply both sides by

x

- 1 = x

Switch sides

x = - 1

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 0

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = - 1

\frac{- 1}{x} = 0

\frac{x + 6}{x + 2} = \frac{- 5}{x}

6 = a^{- 2}

\frac{3.6}{x} = \frac{54}{17}

\frac{1}{a ^{2}} = a^{- 2}
