ok so i have this problem.
So i know i should multiply both sides by the denominator then factorize then subtract , then use quadratic formula right?
But i keep getting mixed up , or maybe i am missing somthing. Can somebody please help me.

?
To use the quadratic function, one side must be equal to 0. Did your question not include an equality? You can't find the value of x without having the function equal something (and if you did have any value instead of 0, you could bring it to the x side to get 0); Even if you simplify that down to the form, you don't know what that function is equal to, x could have an infinite number of possibilities. Otherwise I'd say your instructor wants you to assume it is equal to 0 and do as you are planning to.
yeah my bad i forgot , yes it is equal to zero.
