You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(X/X-9)-4=(9/X-9) OR [X-4(X-9)]/X-9=9/X-9 OR (X-4X+36)/X-9=9/X-9 OR
-3X+36=9 OR -3X=-27 OR X=9

%28x%2F%28x-9%29%29+-+4+=+%289%2F%28x-9%29%29
%28x%2F%28x-9%29%29%28x-9%29+-+4%28x-9%29+=+%289%2F%28x-9%29%29%28x-9%29
x+-+4x+%2B+36+=+9
-3x+=+-27
x+=+9
There are no solutions because when you plug in nine you get undefined.
