kx^{2}-x^{2}-6x+k-1=0
Use the distributive property to multiply k-1 by x^{2}.
kx^{2}-6x+k-1=x^{2}
Add x^{2} to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
kx^{2}+k-1=x^{2}+6x
Add 6x to both sides.
kx^{2}+k=x^{2}+6x+1
Add 1 to both sides.
\left(x^{2}+1\right)k=x^{2}+6x+1
Combine all terms containing k.
\frac{\left(x^{2}+1\right)k}{x^{2}+1}=\frac{x^{2}+6x+1}{x^{2}+1}
Divide both sides by x^{2}+1.
k=\frac{x^{2}+6x+1}{x^{2}+1}
Dividing by x^{2}+1 undoes the multiplication by x^{2}+1.
