By Substitution,

int x/{x-6}dx=x+6ln|x-6|+Cxx6dx=x+6ln|x6|+C

Let us look at some details.

int x/{x-6}dxxx6dx

by the sunstitution u=x-6u=x6,
Rightarrow x=u+6x=u+6
Rightarrow dx=dudx=du

=int {u+6}/u du=u+6udu

by splitting the integrand,

=int (1+6/u) du=(1+6u)du

=u+6ln|u|+C_1=u+6ln|u|+C1

by putting u=x-6u=x6 back in,

=x-6+6ln|x-6|+C_1=x6+6ln|x6|+C1

by letting C=C_1-6C=C16,

=x+6ln|x-6|+C=x+6ln|x6|+C

I hope that this was helpful.
