How do you solve # 2/(x-6)+6= x/(x-6)#? Algebra Rational Equations and Functions Clearing Denominators in Rational Equations 1 Answer Youssuf E. Mar 20, 2018 # x=34/5# Explanation: #2/(x-6) + 6 = x/(x-6)# #=> (2+6(x-6))/color(red)cancel(color(black)(x-6)) = x/color(red)cancel(color(black)(x-6))# #=> 2+6x-36 = x# #=> 6x-x-36+2=0# #=> 5x=34# #=> x=34/5# Answer link Related questions What is Clearing Denominators in Rational Equations?
