The reciprocal of both side of an equation is always equal.

"The reciprocal of an expression is simply defined as the inverse of that expression."

Let, an equation is:

x = 2y

Now, if we take the reciprocal of either side of the equation, then the equation will be:

[tex]\frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{2y}[/tex]

It is obvious the two reciprocals are always equal.
