Step 1 :Find the common denominator of the fractions on the left side of the equation: \((x-2)(x-4)\)
Step 2 :Rewrite the fractions with the common denominator: \(\frac{x(x-4)}{(x-2)(x-4)} - \frac{(x-2)}{(x-2)(x-4)} + \frac{4}{(x-2)(x-4)} = 0\)
Step 3 :Simplify the equation: \(\frac{x^2-4x-x^2+2x+4}{(x-2)(x-4)} = 0\)
Step 4 :Solve for x: \(x-2 = 0\) which gives \(x = 3\)
Step 5 :Check for extraneous solutions: None
Step 6 :Final Answer: \(\boxed{3}\)
