There's one more possible solution: x = infinity (Pantheism or the God of Spinoza?)
I will ask my TBM wife who used to teach math. (Certainly, I don't tell her that the problem has arised on this forum. This is a no-no for her.)
I didn't teach math, I use it only. I don't like infinity, it remembers me to my .... well, I don't like it. In the technical usage, there are no infinitive values. I have never measured infinite voltage, current, power, time or processor speed. (Human stupidity is unmeasurable.)

How about infinite conductivity or infinite impedance?
Anyhow, Hilbert's Hotel may not exist, but it does demonstrate a time in math where X/2 = X and X is not zero. In fact, in Hilbert's Hotel X+1 = X. Strange, but true.
