Answer:

x ≠ 4/5, x ≠ 9/4

You can also write it as "all real numbers except 4/5 and 9/4."

Explanation:

The denominator of a fraction cannot equal 0. We can write this relation to find what x does NOT equal:

(5x - 4)(4x - 9) ≠ 0

We can use the zero-product property to get two separate equations:

5x - 4 ≠ 0

5x ≠ 4

x ≠ 4/5

4x - 9 ≠ 0

4x ≠ 9

x ≠ 9/4
