-\left(x+1\right)-2\left(2x-1\right)+\left(2x-2\right)\times 6-\left(1+x\right)=0
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values -1,1 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right), the least common multiple of 2-2x^{2},x^{2}-1,x+1,2-2x.
-x-1-2\left(2x-1\right)+\left(2x-2\right)\times 6-\left(1+x\right)=0
To find the opposite of x+1, find the opposite of each term.
-x-1-4x+2+\left(2x-2\right)\times 6-\left(1+x\right)=0
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 2x-1.
-5x-1+2+\left(2x-2\right)\times 6-\left(1+x\right)=0
Combine -x and -4x to get -5x.
-5x+1+\left(2x-2\right)\times 6-\left(1+x\right)=0
Add -1 and 2 to get 1.
-5x+1+12x-12-\left(1+x\right)=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 2x-2 by 6.
7x+1-12-\left(1+x\right)=0
Combine -5x and 12x to get 7x.
7x-11-\left(1+x\right)=0
Subtract 12 from 1 to get -11.
7x-11-1-x=0
To find the opposite of 1+x, find the opposite of each term.
7x-12-x=0
Subtract 1 from -11 to get -12.
6x-12=0
Combine 7x and -x to get 6x.
6x=12
Add 12 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{12}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
x=2
Divide 12 by 6 to get 2.
