I can solve it, but I can’t see the image files you referenced. Please either upload the images again or copy/paste the equation here (plain text or LaTeX is fine).
If you’d like to try it yourself before sending it, here is a quick checklist I’ll use when I see the equation so we get the true solution(s):
1. Identify the domain (values not allowed because of denominators, even roots, logs, etc.).
2. Clear denominators or radicals in a way that doesn’t introduce extraneous solutions (e.g. multiply both sides by common denominator; if you square, remember to check).
3. Simplify and collect terms into a standard polynomial or simpler equation.
4. Solve (factor, quadratic formula, substitution, etc.).
5. Check every candidate in the original equation; discard any that make an original denominator zero or fail after substitutions (these are extraneous).
Send the equation and I’ll carry out these steps and give the correct solution(s) with a brief explanation.
