6x=2\times 2x+6\left(x+1\right)\times \frac{1}{6}
Variable x cannot be equal to -1 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 6\left(x+1\right), the least common multiple of x+1,3x+3,6.
6x=4x+6\left(x+1\right)\times \frac{1}{6}
Multiply 2 and 2 to get 4.
6x=4x+x+1
Multiply 6 and \frac{1}{6} to get 1.
6x=5x+1
Combine 4x and x to get 5x.
6x-5x=1
Subtract 5x from both sides.
x=1
Combine 6x and -5x to get x.
