x-1 being HCF (highest common factor), or factor of the expression implies that it divides the expression in question

So, x-1=0 is a root of the polynomial ax^2-b(x+1), this means putting 1 into the polynomial expression should give us 0

For x=1, we get a-b(1+1)=0 => a-2b=0

therefore we get, a=2b.
