First one: multiply the top of each term by 2x. You get:

3 - 9x = 12x^2 , so 12x^2 + 9x - 3 = 0 . Then factor 3 out:

3(4x^2 + 3x - 1) = 0]

3(4x - 1)(x + 1) = 0, so x = 1/4 or -1

***********************************************

Second prob: LCD is 2x(x+1). Multiply through by the LCD on both sides and you get

3x(2x) + 6(x+1) = 7*2(x+1)

6x^2 + 6x + 6 = 14x + 14

6x^2 - 8x - 8 = 0
2(3x^2 - 4x - 4) = 0
2(3x + 2 )(x - 2 ) = 0
x = -2/3 or x = 2
