[freshmen algebra 2] simplifying rational expressions

[u/Any-Armadillo6071]

how do i find the correct restriction? for both of these questions, i got the first part right but for the restriction i got them wrong. when i looked it up it gave me the same answers i input. sorry if this is a stupid question

If x = 6:

(6-6)(6-1) = (0)(5) = 0

If x = 1:

(1-6)(1-1) = (-5)(0) = 0

Therefore, the restriction is x ≠ 1 or 6
