\left(x+2\right)\times 2x+x\left(x^{2}+2\right)=\left(x-1\right)\left(3x+4\right)+\left(x-1\right)x^{2}
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values -2,1 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right), the least common multiple of x-1,x^{2}+x-2,x+2.
\left(2x+4\right)x+x\left(x^{2}+2\right)=\left(x-1\right)\left(3x+4\right)+\left(x-1\right)x^{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply x+2 by 2.
2x^{2}+4x+x\left(x^{2}+2\right)=\left(x-1\right)\left(3x+4\right)+\left(x-1\right)x^{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply 2x+4 by x.
2x^{2}+4x+x^{3}+2x=\left(x-1\right)\left(3x+4\right)+\left(x-1\right)x^{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply x by x^{2}+2.
2x^{2}+6x+x^{3}=\left(x-1\right)\left(3x+4\right)+\left(x-1\right)x^{2}
Combine 4x and 2x to get 6x.
2x^{2}+6x+x^{3}=3x^{2}+x-4+\left(x-1\right)x^{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply x-1 by 3x+4 and combine like terms.
2x^{2}+6x+x^{3}=3x^{2}+x-4+x^{3}-x^{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply x-1 by x^{2}.
2x^{2}+6x+x^{3}=2x^{2}+x-4+x^{3}
Combine 3x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 2x^{2}.
2x^{2}+6x+x^{3}-2x^{2}=x-4+x^{3}
Subtract 2x^{2} from both sides.
6x+x^{3}=x-4+x^{3}
Combine 2x^{2} and -2x^{2} to get 0.
6x+x^{3}-x=-4+x^{3}
Subtract x from both sides.
5x+x^{3}=-4+x^{3}
Combine 6x and -x to get 5x.
5x+x^{3}-x^{3}=-4
Subtract x^{3} from both sides.
5x=-4
Combine x^{3} and -x^{3} to get 0.
x=\frac{-4}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=-\frac{4}{5}
Fraction \frac{-4}{5} can be rewritten as -\frac{4}{5} by extracting the negative sign.
