Can anyone please tell me the answer of (X)/(X-1)-(X-1)/(X-2)-(X-2)/(X-3)+(X-3)/(X-4)

ps:the original question is in fraction,but I do not know how to type it.

I'm stuck here:

(X)/(X-1)-(X-1)/(X-2)-(X-2)/(X-3)+(X-3)/(X-4)

 

=(1+<1/(X-1)>)-(1+<1/(X-2)>)-(1+<1/(X-3)>)+(1+<1/(X-4)>)

=1/(X-1)-1/(X-2)-1/(X-3)+1/(X-4)

=(X-1)-1-(X-2)-1-(X-3)-1+(X-4)-1

Is there anyway to continue, or is this the final answer already?

TQ.

$$\frac{x}{x-1}-\frac{x-1}{x-2}-\frac{x-2}{x-3}+\frac{x-3}{x-4}\\\\$$

Well it really depends what you want to do with it.

Here is one set of ideas

This is probably the answer that you are looking for.  Can you get it by yourself or do you need help?
