Answer:
x = -
,

Explanation:
= 12x + 1
multiply through by x to clear the fraction , x ≠ 0
6 = 12x² + x ( subtract 6 from both sides )
0 = 12x² + x - 6 , that is
12x² + x - 6 = 0 ← in standard form
consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.
product = 12 × - 6 = - 72 and sum = + 1
the factors are - 8 and + 9
use these factors to split the x- term
12x² - 8x + 9x - 6 = 0 ( factor first/second and third/fourth terms )
4x(3x - 2) + 3(3x - 2) ← factor out (3x - 2) from each term
(3x - 2)(4x + 3) = 0 ← in factored form
equate each factor to zero and solve for x
3x - 2 = 0 ( add 2 to both sides )
3x = 2 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x =

and
4x + 3 = 0 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
4x = - 3 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = -

solutions are x = -
