Solve 1/x-2x

$$\frac{ 1 }{ x } -2x$$

Evaluate

$$-2x+\frac{1}{x}$$

Short Solution Steps

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply -2x times \frac{x}{x}.

$$\frac{1}{x}+\frac{-2xx}{x}$$

Since \frac{1}{x} and \frac{-2xx}{x} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{1-2xx}{x}$$

Do the multiplications in 1-2xx.

$$\frac{1-2x^{2}}{x}$$

Factor

$$\frac{1-2x^{2}}{x}$$
