How to solve 1/1 = 1/x? Get the answer and stepwise instruction to solve linear equation in one variable 𝒙.

We have 1/1 = 1/x

Cross multiplying the ratios, gives

1x = 1 × 1

Divide both sides by 1, which is the coefficient of x
Note: if a = b, then a ÷ c = b ÷ c

Therefore, 1x/1 = 1 × 1/1

x = 1/1 or, x = 1
