First, factor the RHS denominator:



Make a mental note that if either 6 or 1 comes up as a solution, it must be excluded because either of those values makes the original equation undefined.

Multiply both sides by



Multiply both sides by -1



Multiply both sides by and add -24 to both sides:



Multiply both sides by and then factor:



You can take it from here.
