y= x/(1+2x), solve for x

[ng1751]

Hi, I am having a brain cramp trying to remember simple algebra tricks. What is the simplest way to solve for x?

y=x/(1+2x)

Thanks!

Multiply both sides by the denominators to simplify the "fractional" terms [In this case you would multiply by (1+2x) to get y*(1+2x) = x]

and continue...
