Solve equations leading to a quadratic equation where restrictions on the pronumeral* exist
These equations contain restrictions on the pronumeral (written next to the equation). It is important to note to not include these restricted answers as part of your final answer.
Example 1.

In this example we are given an equation which has a restriction on the pro numeral x. We solve this by making all the denominators equal to get: [(x+1) - 2]/x squared -1 = [x squared - 1]/ [x squared - 1]. This then simplifies to x - 1 = x squared -1, which simplifies to x squared - x = 0. This can be written as x(x-1) = 0. Therefore x = 0 or x = 1. The restriction given at the start of the question states that x cannot equal 1 or -1. Therefore the only solution for x is 0.
