You can't "solve" it. Any value you like can be substituted for the variable (except perhaps zero if your variable is in the denominator of the fraction and I can't tell because you didn't use parentheses to eliminate ambiguity). Since there is no relational operator (equals sign or inequality sign), nothing binds the solution set to a value or set of values. You can simplify the expression or rearrange it in a number of ways, but you don't specify what that is. Go back and read the instructions for posting, specifically where it says to be clear about what your question is, to tell us what it is that is giving you difficulty with the problem, and to show the work you have done so far.
