You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can't solve it because it doesn't have an "=" sign.
You can simplify it though.
Use a common denominator, x%28x%2B1%29

7%2F%28x%2B1%29-3x%2B2%2Fx=%287x-3x%5E2%28x%2B1%29%2B2%28x%2B1%29%29%2F%28x%28x%2B1%29%29
7%2F%28x%2B1%29-3x%2B2%2Fx=%287x-3x%5E3-3x%5E2%2B2x%2B2%29%2F%28x%28x%2B1%29%29
7%2F%28x%2B1%29-3x%2B2%2Fx=%28-3x%5E3-3x%5E2%2B9x%2B2%29%2F%28x%28x%2B1%29%29
