    ((9!)/(x! (9−x)!)) = 4(((7!)/((x−1)!(8−x)!)))      ((72)/(x(9−x))) = 4      18= 9x−x^2        x^2 −9x+18=0      (x−6)(x−3)=0       x=6 or x=3
$$\:\:\:\:\frac{\mathrm{9}!}{{x}!\:\left(\mathrm{9}−{x}\right)!}\:=\:\mathrm{4}\left(\frac{\mathrm{7}!}{\left({x}−\mathrm{1}\right)!\left(\mathrm{8}−{x}\right)!}\right) \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\frac{\mathrm{72}}{{x}\left(\mathrm{9}−{x}\right)}\:=\:\mathrm{4} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\mathrm{18}=\:\mathrm{9}{x}−{x}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{9}{x}+\mathrm{18}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\left({x}−\mathrm{6}\right)\left({x}−\mathrm{3}\right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:{x}=\mathrm{6}\:{or}\:{x}=\mathrm{3} \\ $$
