I'd guess a bit of substitution might be helpful as in substitute Y = (1/(1+x)) so that 6Y^2 - Y = 1

just: Let a = 1/(x+1). Then you have to solve 6a^2-a=1 that is 6a^2 -a -1=0, Discriminant = 25, a=1/2 or a=-1/3, that is x=1 or x=-4

This is exactly what I did, very clean and simple, I don't understand why you would make such a hustle of this equation.

I subbed in 'u' for 1/1+x and then factored that. solving for both solutions, i put u = 1/1+x and entered the two values for u and got my two answers

Greetings. We must realize that X has two values, and the values are 1 and minus 4. From the expression given we have (6-(X+1))/(X+1)^2=1. Moving on, we have 6-X-1=X^2+2X+1, and 5-X=X^2 +2X+1 is reduced to X^2 +3X-4=0 after transposing and adding and subtracting like terms. Now, we will simply factor the expression X^2+3X-4=0 to get (X+4)(X-1)=0 from which it is determined that X =1 or -4.

this is how I did it, but made some math errors 6 -(x+1) I made into x+5 , not -x + 5. Once fixed, I got it right.

Much to my surprise I managed to solve it. In fact it's nowhere this intimidating that it appears to be. The trick is to introduce a variable. 1 let t = --- x+1 6t² - t - 1 = 0 t1 = - 1/3 1 1 --- = ---; x+1 = -3; x = -4 x+1 -3 t2 = 1/2 1 1 --- = ---; x+1 = 2; x = 1 x+1 2

Why do we call it a quadratic equation when quad seems to imply something related to four? Shouldn't it be called a bidratic equation?
