You can't cancel out an x if there's a (x-1) on the bottom...

Looks good | 64/7=/=8
64/8=8
@AQW: well you can safely assume that due to him not putting the parentheses there, and due to the simplicity of these problems, that you can take out the X.

Well that's why I asked if he had forgotten the parentheses. I did not want to assume there should be none because it seemed too easy without them.
EDIT: If it's indeed 8=(x^2/x)-1 then the answer would be 9.

If its -8, then its this: ( -8 )^2/-8-1= 64/-9=-7.1=/=8

i seriously doubt that was the equation.
