Question
$$\frac{45}{6}-\frac{4}{6} = 0$$
Answer
This equation has no solution.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} \frac{45}{6}-\frac{4}{6} &= 0&& \text{multiply ALL terms by } \color{blue}{ 6 }. \\[1 em]6\cdot\frac{45}{6}-6\cdot\frac{4}{6} &= 6\cdot0&& \text{cancel out the denominators} \\[1 em]45-4 &= 0&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]41 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{red}{ 41 = 0 } $ is FALSE, we conclude that the equation has no solution.
