[(n-5)/(6n-6)] = 1/9 -[(n-3)/(4n-4)]
[(n-5)/(6(n-1))] = 1/9 -[(n-3)/(4(n-1)]
The least common multiple is (36(n-1))
Multiply thru by the lcm to get:
[6(n-5)] = 4(n-1) - [9(n-3)]
6n-30-= 4n-4 -9n+27
6n-30 = -5n+23
11n=53
n=53/11

The LCD of all the denominators is 

So put the LCD over 1  

 =  - 

On the left side you can cancel the 6 into the 36 and 
end up with

 =  - 

In the first term on the right you can cancel the 9 
into the 36 and end up with

 =  - 

In the last term on the right you can cancel both the 4 
into the 36 and the (n-1)'s and now you have just

 =  - 

Remove the parentheses by distributing:

 =  -
