Please help me solve this [[[ (x-7/x+5)=(x-6/x+4) ]]]

%28x+-+7%29%2F%28x+%2B+5%29+=+%28x+-+6%29%2F%28x+%2B+4%29

(x - 7)(x + 4) = (x + 5)(x - 6) ---- Cross-multiplying

x%5E2+-+3x+-+28+=+x%5E2+-+x+-+30

x%5E2+-+x%5E2+-+3x+%2B+x+=+-+30+%2B+28

- 2x = - 2

x+=+%28-+2%29%2F-+2, or highlight_green%28x+=+1%29

You can do the check, I'm sure!!
