The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \((x-6)/4 - (x-4)/6 = 1 - x/10\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find a common denominator The denominators in the equation are 4, 6, and 10. The least common multiple (LCM) of these numbers is 60. We will multiply the entire equation by 60 to eliminate the fractions. \[ 60 \left(\frac{x-6}{4}\right) - 60 \left(\frac{x-4}{6}\right) = 60 \left(1 - \frac{x}{10}\right) \] ### Step 2: Simplify each term Now we simplify each term: \[ 15(x-6) - 10(x-4) = 60 - 6x \] ### Step 3: Distribute Next, we distribute the constants in front of the parentheses: \[ 15x - 90 - 10x + 40 = 60 - 6x \] ### Step 4: Combine like terms Now, we combine like terms on the left side: \[ (15x - 10x) + (-90 + 40) = 60 - 6x \] This simplifies to: \[ 5x - 50 = 60 - 6x \] ### Step 5: Move all \(x\) terms to one side We will add \(6x\) to both sides to get all \(x\) terms on one side: \[ 5x + 6x - 50 = 60 \] This simplifies to: \[ 11x - 50 = 60 \] ### Step 6: Move constants to the other side Next, we add 50 to both sides: \[ 11x = 110 \] ### Step 7: Solve for \(x\) Now, we divide both sides by 11: \[ x = 10 \] ### Step 8: Verify the solution To verify, we substitute \(x = 10\) back into the original equation: \[ \frac{10-6}{4} - \frac{10-4}{6} = 1 - \frac{10}{10} \] Calculating each side: Left side: \[ \frac{4}{4} - \frac{6}{6} = 1 - 1 = 0 \] Right side: \[ 0 = 0 \] Since both sides are equal, our solution is verified. ### Final Answer: \[ x = 10 \]
