Given

[tex]\frac{x-1}{x}=20[/tex]

Solution

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{x-1}{x}=\frac{20}{1} \\ \text{cross multiply} \\ 1(x-1)=20(x)_{} \\ we\text{ have} \\ x-1=20x \\ \text{collect the like terms} \\ -1=20x-x \\ -1=19x \\ \text{rewrite} \\ 19x=-1 \\ \text{Divide both sides by 19} \\ \frac{19x}{19}=-\frac{1}{19} \\ \\ x=-\frac{1}{19} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The final answer

[tex]x=-\frac{1}{19}[/tex]
