You can put this solution on YOUR website!
-1/x-5=x-6/x-5
\n" ); document.write( "LCD=(x-5)
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by x-5
\n" ); document.write( "What's left after cancelling are just the numerators
\n" ); document.write( "-1=x-6
\n" ); document.write( "transpose -6 to left side
\n" ); document.write( "-1+6=x
\n" ); document.write( "5=x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "looks good, however you must check the answer
\n" ); document.write( "but when you replace x=5 in each denominator
\n" ); document.write( "x-5=5-5=0
\n" ); document.write( "both denominators become zero.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "That's a no no.
\n" ); document.write( "You can't divide by zero.
\n" ); document.write( "So, we say that there are NO solutions to the equation.\r
