Brainlet here, this small question has been annoying me. Why, as in pic related can you separate the variable from the fraction if it's in the numerator, but you couldn't do that if it were in that denominator?

In other words, x/6=1/6x, but 1/(6x) =/= 1/6x

What is the rule for when you can separate the variable from the fraction?
