Solve 1divx=2*1/4

$$1 \div x=2 \times \frac{ 1 }{ 4 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=2$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 4x, the least common multiple of x,4.

$$4=2\times \frac{1}{4}\times 4x$$

Multiply 2 and \frac{1}{4} to get \frac{2}{4}.

$$4=\frac{2}{4}\times 4x$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$4=\frac{1}{2}\times 4x$$

Multiply \frac{1}{2} and 4 to get \frac{4}{2}.

$$4=\frac{4}{2}x$$

Divide 4 by 2 to get 2.

$$4=2x$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$2x=4$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$x=\frac{4}{2}$$

Divide 4 by 2 to get 2.

$$x=2$$
