Question 456094
(x+1)/(x-3)=x+2 }}}

So far I have tried the following steps to simplify:

x+1=(x+2)(x-3)
x+1={{{x^2-3x+2x-6}}}
x+1={{{x^2-x-6}}}
x+7={{{x^2-x}}}
2x+7={{{x^2}}}
----
Good up to this point:
Then:
x^2-2x-7 = 0
Now use the quadratic formula to solve for "x":
x = [2 +- sqrt(4-4*-7)]/2
----
x = [2 +- sqrt(32)]/2
---
x = [2 +- 4sqrt(2)]/2
---
x = 1+2sqrt(2) or x = 1 - 2sqrt(2)
