Question
$$(26-1)(13-1)^2\frac{(13-2)^3}{(13-4)^4} = 0$$
Answer
This equation has no solution.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} (26-1)(13-1)^2\frac{(13-2)^3}{(13-4)^4} &= 0&& \text{multiply ALL terms by } \color{blue}{ 6561 }. \\[1 em]6561(26-1)(13-1)^2\frac{(13-2)^3}{(13-4)^4} &= 6561\cdot0&& \text{cancel out the denominators} \\[1 em]4791600 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{red}{ 4791600 = 0 } $ is FALSE, we conclude that the equation has no solution.
