\(\dfrac{x^9-1}{x^9+1}=7=\dfrac{7}{1}\Rightarrow\dfrac{x^9-1}{7}=\dfrac{x^9+1}{1}=\dfrac{-2}{6}=\dfrac{-1}{3}\)
\(\Rightarrow\dfrac{x^9-1}{7}=\dfrac{-1}{3}\Rightarrow x^9=1-\dfrac{7}{3}=\dfrac{-4}{3}\)
\(\Rightarrow x^{18}=\left(x^9\right)^2=\left(\dfrac{-4}{3}\right)^2=\dfrac{16}{9}\)
\(A=\dfrac{x^{18}-1}{x^{18}+1}=\dfrac{\dfrac{16}{9}-1}{\dfrac{16}{9}+1}=\dfrac{7}{25}\)
