The issue here is that the number of terms itself is also an unknown (x). This is itself a function.

Our differentiation result for k f(x) holds only when k is a constant.

In other words, x f(x) does not differentiate to x f'(x).

Anyway, the division step is also incorrect, or at least flawed in reasoning. Solving If x = 2x, then x - x = 2x - x, or 0 = x. This will be the only solution to the equation x = 2x, so dividing both sides of the equation by x is akin to dividing both sides by zero. Division by zero is undefined.
