f_{n}\left(f_{n}x-1\right)\times 1x=-f_{1}
Variable f_{1} cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by f_{1}\left(f_{n}x-1\right), the least common multiple of f_{1},1-f_{n}x.
\left(xf_{n}^{2}-f_{n}\right)\times 1x=-f_{1}
Use the distributive property to multiply f_{n} by f_{n}x-1.
\left(xf_{n}^{2}-f_{n}\right)x=-f_{1}
Use the distributive property to multiply xf_{n}^{2}-f_{n} by 1.
f_{n}^{2}x^{2}-f_{n}x=-f_{1}
Use the distributive property to multiply xf_{n}^{2}-f_{n} by x.
-f_{1}=f_{n}^{2}x^{2}-f_{n}x
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{-f_{1}}{-1}=\frac{f_{n}x\left(f_{n}x-1\right)}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
f_{1}=\frac{f_{n}x\left(f_{n}x-1\right)}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
f_{1}=-f_{n}x\left(f_{n}x-1\right)
Divide f_{n}x\left(f_{n}x-1\right) by -1.
f_{1}=-f_{n}x\left(f_{n}x-1\right)\text{, }f_{1}\neq 0
Variable f_{1} cannot be equal to 0.
