You can put this solution on YOUR website!
IN THE FUTURE PLEASE USE ( ) AROUNF THE COMPOUND NUMERATOR & DENOMINATOR OR ELSE WE MIGHT INTERPRET THIS PROBLEM AS:
A^2+(2A/A^2)+3A+2
A^2+2/A+3A+2
A^2+(2+3A^2)/A+2
A^2+(2A+3A^2)/2+2
ETC.

ANOTHER SUBMITTER USED THE ( ) & HAD:
(a^2+2a)/(a^2+3a+2)
a(a+2)/(a+2)(a+1)
a/(a+1) ANSWER.
