1. Problem Description

We need 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 as 6(x6)6(x-6). The given equation becomes:
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. Note that x6x \neq 6, as this would make the denominators zero.
6(x6)[x6(x6)9]=6(x6)[1x6]6(x-6)[\frac{x}{6(x-6)} - 9] = 6(x-6)[\frac{1}{x-6}]
Distribute 6(x6)6(x-6) on the left side:
6(x6)x6(x6)6(x6)9=6(x6)1x66(x-6) \cdot \frac{x}{6(x-6)} - 6(x-6) \cdot 9 = 6(x-6) \cdot \frac{1}{x-6}
Simplify each term:
x54(x6)=6x - 54(x-6) = 6
Expand the term 54(x6)54(x-6):
x54x+324=6x - 54x + 324 = 6
Combine like terms on the left side:
53x+324=6-53x + 324 = 6
Subtract 324 from both sides:
53x=6324-53x = 6 - 324
53x=318-53x = -318
Divide both sides by 53-53:
x=31853x = \frac{-318}{-53}
x=6x = 6
However, we noted that x6x \neq 6 because this would make the denominator zero.
Therefore, there is no solution.

3. Final Answer

No solution.
