The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \(\frac{1}{4!} + \frac{1}{5!} = \frac{x}{6!}\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate \(4!\) and \(5!\) First, we need to calculate the factorials: - \(4! = 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 24\) - \(5! = 5 \times 4! = 5 \times 24 = 120\) ### Step 2: Rewrite the fractions Now we can rewrite the fractions: \[ \frac{1}{4!} = \frac{1}{24}, \quad \frac{1}{5!} = \frac{1}{120} \] ### Step 3: Find a common denominator The least common multiple (LCM) of \(24\) and \(120\) is \(120\). We will rewrite \(\frac{1}{24}\) with a denominator of \(120\): \[ \frac{1}{24} = \frac{5}{120} \] ### Step 4: Add the fractions Now we can add the two fractions: \[ \frac{5}{120} + \frac{1}{120} = \frac{5 + 1}{120} = \frac{6}{120} \] ### Step 5: Set the equation Now we have: \[ \frac{6}{120} = \frac{x}{6!} \] We know that \(6! = 720\). ### Step 6: Rewrite the equation We can rewrite the equation: \[ \frac{6}{120} = \frac{x}{720} \] ### Step 7: Cross-multiply Now we cross-multiply to solve for \(x\): \[ 6 \times 720 = 120 \times x \] \[ 4320 = 120x \] ### Step 8: Solve for \(x\) Now, divide both sides by \(120\): \[ x = \frac{4320}{120} = 36 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \(x\) is \(36\). ---
