ax=x
Cancel out 2 on both sides.
xa=x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{xa}{x}=\frac{x}{x}
Divide both sides by x.
a=\frac{x}{x}
Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.
a=1
Divide x by x.
ax=x
Cancel out 2 on both sides.
ax-x=0
Subtract x from both sides.
\left(a-1\right)x=0
Combine all terms containing x.
x=0
Divide 0 by -1+a.
ax=x
Cancel out 2 on both sides.
