If y = 1 / x – 1 , what is x in terms of y?

Question

please answer

Answer 1

When asks something like "what is x in terms of y?" that means to solve for x.  So you should get x = something with y as a variable.

 

So add 1 to both sides:

y + 1 = 1/x

 

Multiply both sides by x:

x(y + 1) = 1.

 

Now divide by y + 1 on both sides:

x = 1/(y + 1)
