The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( \frac{1}{x} - 1 = \frac{2}{x} - 2 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rearrange the equation Start by moving all terms involving \( x \) to one side and constant terms to the other side. \[ \frac{1}{x} - \frac{2}{x} = -2 + 1 \] ### Step 2: Simplify the left side Combine the fractions on the left side: \[ \frac{1 - 2}{x} = -1 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{-1}{x} = -1 \] ### Step 3: Eliminate the negative signs Multiply both sides by -1 to make the equation easier to work with: \[ \frac{1}{x} = 1 \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( x \) Now, take the reciprocal of both sides: \[ x = 1 \] Thus, the value of \( x \) that satisfies the equation is: \[ \boxed{1} \] ---
