Solve 2x+3/x+1+1=4

$$\frac{ 2x+3 }{ x+1 } +1=4$$

Solve for x

$$x=0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to -1 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x+1.

$$2x+3+x+1=4\left(x+1\right)$$

Combine 2x and x to get 3x.

$$3x+3+1=4\left(x+1\right)$$

Add 3 and 1 to get 4.

$$3x+4=4\left(x+1\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x+1.

$$3x+4=4x+4$$

Subtract 4x from both sides.

$$3x+4-4x=4$$

Combine 3x and -4x to get -x.

$$-x+4=4$$

Subtract 4 from both sides.

$$-x=4-4$$

Subtract 4 from 4 to get 0.

$$-x=0$$

Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since -1 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.

$$x=0$$
