an\left(n+2\right)=n+1
Multiply both sides of the equation by n+2.
an^{2}+2an=n+1
Use the distributive property to multiply an by n+2.
\left(n^{2}+2n\right)a=n+1
Combine all terms containing a.
\frac{\left(n^{2}+2n\right)a}{n^{2}+2n}=\frac{n+1}{n^{2}+2n}
Divide both sides by n^{2}+2n.
a=\frac{n+1}{n^{2}+2n}
Dividing by n^{2}+2n undoes the multiplication by n^{2}+2n.
a=\frac{n+1}{n\left(n+2\right)}
Divide n+1 by n^{2}+2n.
