I am lost from this point, do I factor by using grouping then find the additional roots?
Thank you for your help I appreciate it very much.

Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x=1 is also a root.
I plugged it into the original and in your second equation.
You can then divide your second equation by (x-1) to get to the quadratic.
