This you wrote does not display well.


 x+1
_____ )= 2 consider the following
 x+3


That looks like an equation (x+1)/(x+3)=2 which would appear better between the rendering tags as {{{(x+1)/(x+3)=2}}}.  Solve for x?


{{{x+1=2(x+3)}}} after multiply both sides by {{{x+3}}};


{{{x+1=2x+6}}}

{{{1=x+6}}}

{{{x=1-6}}}

{{{highlight(x=-5)}}}
