Isn't there a way to solve this
(x+7)(x-1)= (x+1)(x+1)
like, making both sides have the same denominator ?

I know how to solve it the other way
Neither side has a denominator. There is no division indicated.
Multiply both sides out, combine like terms and then deal with that equation made to equal zero.
?x^2 ± ?x ± ? = 0
? = missing numerical values.
Is that what you did?
Factor that to solve.
