Is this correct? No solution for: a/a-6 = -2/a-1 (rational expression)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I found 2 solutions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is the first step: a(a - 1) = -2(a - 6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got a trinomial but it gave me 13 which doesnt have a factor

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you show your steps?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I tried again, and got this trinomial: a^2+1a-12, does this look right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It does.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer is: -4,3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's right.
