X2/2×-6=9/6×-18 solve for x
(1) Don't mix "X" and "x" in the same problem to denote the same number. It is perfectly legal (and often convenient) to use both lower- and upper-case letters to represent different quantities.
(2) It is also possible you intended your lower-case "x" to be a multiplication symbol (as the other tutor interpreted it). That is an extremely bad practice, since it is easily confused with the variable x.
(3) It is standard to use "^^" (shift-6) to represent exponentiation: "x^2" instead of just "x2"
(4) Use of parentheses is often critical. The equation as you show it is
x^2/2x-6=9/6x-18 =
I suspect the intended equation is
x^2/(2x-6)=9/(6x-18) =
------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, having gotten past the very poor presentation of your equation, I suspect this is what we are supposed to solve:
Divide numerator and denominator on the right by 3
(noting the restriction that x can't be 3 because it would make the denominators 0)
