1/4x-4+1/9=1/6x-6
1/4x-1/6x=-6+4-1/9
3/12x-2/12x=-2 1/9
1/12x=-19/9
x=(-19/9)/(1/12)
x=-19/9*12/1
x=-228/9
x=-25 1/3

Hello, my name is Eboni.
Solving Equation.

x-3/4x-4 +1/9= x-5/6x-6

It it's , then read on.

Note that

Denominators (4x - 4) and (6x - 6) factor to 4(x - 1) and 6(x - 1), respectively. Along with 9, we have denominators, 4(6)(9)(x - 1), which makes the LCD: 36(x - 1)

Therefore, becomes:

9(x - 3) + 4(x - 1) = 6(x - 5)

9x - 27 + 4x - 4 = 6x - 30

9x + 4x - 27 - 4 = 6x - 30

13x - 31 = 6x - 30

13x - 6x = - 30 + 31

7x = 1
