The answer is C that is X=7 and X=-1

multiple x through the given equation to get rid of a fraction. It will be

${x}^(2) - 7 = 6x$

After that bring 6X to the LHS of the equation

so that it will look like the general equation that is

${x}^(2) - 6x - 7 = 0$

Use the quadratic formula (or any other approach to find the values of x

You will arrive at

x = 7. - 1
