Q: 3/(2x-1)=1/x

A: i was thinking to cross musltiply, but i can't get it to work
 
Why not?

(3/(2x-1))=1/x -- cross multiply
3x=2x-1
3x-2x=-1
x=-1

btw, this is not calculus
 
oops! i cross multiplied in a wrong way. and sorry for posting this in the wrong category; maybe it's supposed to be in 'the other math help' category?
