Answer

$\dfrac{2-x}{10-x}$

Work Step by Step

Factoring the given expression, $ \dfrac{1}{10-x}+\dfrac{x-1}{x-10} ,$ results to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{1}{10-x}+\dfrac{x-1}{-(10-x)} \\\\= \dfrac{1}{10-x}-\dfrac{x-1}{10-x} .\end{array} Subtracting the numerators and copying the common denominator, the expression above, $ \dfrac{1}{10-x}-\dfrac{x-1}{10-x} ,$ simplifies to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{1-(x-1)}{10-x} \\\\= \dfrac{1-x+1}{10-x} \\\\= \dfrac{-x+2}{10-x} \\\\= \dfrac{2-x}{10-x} .\end{array}
