6-4=1(x)(x-1)
2=x^2-x
0=x^2-x-2
0=(x-2)(x+1)
x= 2 or -1

#

is that the right answer?

#

oh did the website say it’s that

#

wait what’s the actual question

this is how i got it i tried to write out each step so you can under stand it

#

you pretty much want to get the fractions denominator the same so you can minus the numerators in one fraction then you can just rearrange with normal algebra

or make the denominators the same
