Solve for n:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28n%2B1%29%2F%28n%2B2%29+=+%28n-3%29%2F%28n%2B1%29\"$ Cross-multiply:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28n%2B1%29%28n%2B1%29+=+%28n-3%29%28n%2B2%29\"$ Perform the indicated multiplication.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n%5E2%2B2n%2B1+=+n%5E2-n-6\"$ Subtract $\"n%5E2\"$ from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2n%2B1+=+-n-6\"$ Add n to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3n%2B1+=+-6\"$ Subtract 1 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3n+=+-7\"$ Finally, divide both sides by 3.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28n+=+-7%2F3%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
