You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If a ≠ 0 and the sum of x and 1/a is 0, then we know that $\"x%2B1%2Fa=0\"$ \r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solving for x, we get $\"x=-1%2Fa\"$ \r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solving for 'a', we get $\"1%2Fa=-x\"$ ----> $\"1=-ax\"$ ----> $\"a=-1%2Fx\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
