ANSWER :-

 \frac{16}{x}  - 1 =  \frac{15}{x + 1}  \\  \frac{16 - x}{x}  =  \frac{15}{x + 1}  \\ (16 - x)(x + 1) = 15x \\ 16x -  {x}^{2}  + 16 - x = 15x \\ 15x -  {x}^{2}  + 16 = 15x \\  -  {x}^{2}  + 16 = 15x - 15x \\  -  {x}^{2}  + 16 = 0 \\  -  {x}^{2}  =  - 16 \\  {x}^{2}  = 16 \\

x=+/- \:  \sqrt{16}

=>x=+/- 4 units

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU!!!!!!!
