Answer

The LHS is missing the integral sign (and the variable of integration). Correct statement:$\qquad \displaystyle \int\frac{1}{x}dx=\ln|x|+C$

Work Step by Step

The equality as written, is false. The intention was probably to write $\displaystyle \int\frac{1}{x}dx=\ln|x|+C$ (special form of the power rule, when $n=-1)$.
