Question

simplify by cancelling
1
-1
cant be simplified

Explanation:

Step1: Factor out -1 from the denominator

We know that \(6 - x=-(x - 6)\). So the original expression \(\frac{x - 6}{6 - x}\) can be rewritten as \(\frac{x - 6}{-(x - 6)}\).

Step2: Cancel out the common factor

Since \(x-6
eq0\) (when \(x
eq6\)), we can cancel out the common factor \((x - 6)\) in the numerator and denominator. \(\frac{x - 6}{-(x - 6)}=- 1\).

Answer:

-1
