60x - 12 = 14x^2 + 14x
Subtract 60x & Combine
-12 = 14x^2+14x-60x
-12= 14x^2-46x
Add 12
0= 14x^2-46x-14

Answer:
x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
-
=
← factor denominator
-
= 
[ x ≠ 0, x ≠ - 1 as these would make the terms undefined ]
Multiply through by x(x + 1)
4x² - 5(x + 1) = 4
4x² - 5x - 4 = 4 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
4x² - 5x - 9 = 0 ← in standard form
(x + 1)(4x - 9) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1
4x - 9 = 0 ⇒ 4x = 9 ⇒ x = 
However, x ≠ - 1 for reason given above, then
solution is x =
