\frac{1}{1-\frac{1}{\frac{x}{x}+\frac{1}{x}}}=2
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply 1 times \frac{x}{x}.
\frac{1}{1-\frac{1}{\frac{x+1}{x}}}=2
Since \frac{x}{x} and \frac{1}{x} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{1}{1-\frac{x}{x+1}}=2
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Divide 1 by \frac{x+1}{x} by multiplying 1 by the reciprocal of \frac{x+1}{x}.
\frac{1}{\frac{x+1}{x+1}-\frac{x}{x+1}}=2
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply 1 times \frac{x+1}{x+1}.
\frac{1}{\frac{x+1-x}{x+1}}=2
Since \frac{x+1}{x+1} and \frac{x}{x+1} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{1}{\frac{1}{x+1}}=2
Combine like terms in x+1-x.
x+1=2
Variable x cannot be equal to -1 since division by zero is not defined. Divide 1 by \frac{1}{x+1} by multiplying 1 by the reciprocal of \frac{1}{x+1}.
x=2-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
x=1
Subtract 1 from 2 to get 1.
