Does any number to the negative one equal half of that number? - Answers

Algebraically, what you're asking is if there is a value for x such that x-1 = (1/2)x. Well, let's solve for x and see.First, multiply both sides by x:x*x-1 = (1/2)x*x, 1 = (1/2)x2.Then, multiply both sides by 2:2*1 = 2*(1/2)x2, 2 = x2.Finally,take the square root of both sides:√(2) = √(x2), which leaves us with two numbers that satisfy your question,x = ±√2.
