1. Problem Description

The problem is to solve the equation x6x369=1x6\frac{x}{6x-36} - 9 = \frac{1}{x-6} for xx.

2. Solution Steps

First, we factor the denominator 6x366x-36:
6x36=6(x6)6x - 36 = 6(x-6).
Now, rewrite the equation:
x6(x6)9=1x6\frac{x}{6(x-6)} - 9 = \frac{1}{x-6}.
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6(x6)6(x-6) to eliminate the denominators:
6(x6)(x6(x6)9)=6(x6)(1x6)6(x-6)\left(\frac{x}{6(x-6)} - 9\right) = 6(x-6)\left(\frac{1}{x-6}\right)
x54(x6)=6x - 54(x-6) = 6
x54x+324=6x - 54x + 324 = 6
53x+324=6-53x + 324 = 6
53x=6324-53x = 6 - 324
53x=318-53x = -318
x=31853x = \frac{-318}{-53}
x=6x = 6.
However, we must check if this solution is valid. The original equation has terms with denominators 6x36=6(x6)6x-36 = 6(x-6) and x6x-6. If x=6x=6, then both denominators are zero, which means the equation is undefined. Therefore, x=6x=6 is not a valid solution.
Thus, there is no solution to this equation.

3. Final Answer

No solution.
