6+%2B+%282%2F%28x%2B1%29%29+=+1%2F%28x%2B2%29
...
Multiply by (x+1)(x+2)
6(x+1)(x+2) + 2(x+2) = (x+1)
...
6%28x%5E2%2B3x%2B2%29+%2B+2x%2B4+=+x%2B1
...
6x%5E2+%2B+18x+%2B+12+%2B+2x+%2B+4+-+x+-+1+=+0
...
6x%5E2+%2B+19x+%2B+15+=+0
...
(3x+5)(2x+3)
...
highlight_green%28x+=+-5%2F3%29 and highlight_green%28x+=+-3%2F2%29
