8=1/sqrt x
------------
Square both sides
64 = 1/x
x = 1/64
---------
Or if you prefer,
sqrt%28x%29+=+1%2F8
x = 1/64

8=1%2Fsqrt%28x%29
======================
First, get the 'x' term alone on one side of the equation:
8sqrt%28x%29=1
sqrt%28x%29=1%2F8
======================
Now, square both sides, and you are done.
highlight%28x=1%2F64%29
======================
Good Luck,
