1-5x+6x^{2}=6x^{2}-x-1
Use the distributive property to multiply 6x-1 by x.
1-5x+6x^{2}-6x^{2}=-x-1
Subtract 6x^{2} from both sides.
1-5x=-x-1
Combine 6x^{2} and -6x^{2} to get 0.
1-5x+x=-1
Add x to both sides.
1-4x=-1
Combine -5x and x to get -4x.
-4x=-1-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
-4x=-2
Subtract 1 from -1 to get -2.
x=\frac{-2}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4.
x=\frac{1}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-2}{-4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -2.
