Question
$$6 = \frac{x^2+x}{x}-1$$
Answer
$$ \begin{matrix}x_1 = 0 & x_2 = 6 \\[1 em] \end{matrix} $$
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} 6 &= \frac{x^2+x}{x}-1&& \text{multiply ALL terms by } \color{blue}{ x }. \\[1 em]x\cdot6 &= x \cdot \frac{x^2+x}{x}-x\cdot1&& \text{cancel out the denominators} \\[1 em]6x &= x^2+x-x&& \text{simplify right side} \\[1 em]6x &= x^2+x-x&& \\[1 em]6x &= x^2&& \text{move all terms to the left hand side } \\[1 em]6x-x^2 &= 0&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]-x^2+6x &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
In order to solve $ \color{blue}{ -x^{2}+6x = 0 } $, first we need to factor our $ x $.
$$ -x^{2}+6x = x \left( -x+6 \right) $$$ x = 0 $ is a root of multiplicity $ 1 $.
The second root can be found by solving equation $ -x+6 = 0$.
