Simplifying
(x + 1)(x + -6) = 1

Reorder the terms:
(1 + x)(x + -6) = 1

Reorder the terms:
(1 + x)(-6 + x) = 1

Multiply (1 + x) * (-6 + x)
(1(-6 + x) + x(-6 + x)) = 1
((-6 * 1 + x * 1) + x(-6 + x)) = 1
((-6 + 1x) + x(-6 + x)) = 1
(-6 + 1x + (-6 * x + x * x)) = 1
(-6 + 1x + (-6x + x2)) = 1

Combine like terms: 1x + -6x = -5x
(-6 + -5x + x2) = 1

Solving
-6 + -5x + x2 = 1

Solving for variable 'x'.
