I unfortunately don't have the patience to do this right now but you need to cross multiply to solve this. Then you isolate your x and you'll have an answer. Make sure to FOIL anything that requires you to do so. Then when checking for extraneous solutions, all you need to do is make sure your answers do not make the denominator =0.  So that means x can not equal -1 or 1.
