3x^{2}+kx+2x+k+2=0
Use the distributive property to multiply k+2 by x.
kx+2x+k+2=-3x^{2}
Subtract 3x^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
kx+k+2=-3x^{2}-2x
Subtract 2x from both sides.
kx+k=-3x^{2}-2x-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
\left(x+1\right)k=-3x^{2}-2x-2
Combine all terms containing k.
\frac{\left(x+1\right)k}{x+1}=\frac{-3x^{2}-2x-2}{x+1}
Divide both sides by x+1.
k=\frac{-3x^{2}-2x-2}{x+1}
Dividing by x+1 undoes the multiplication by x+1.
k=-\frac{3x^{2}+2x+2}{x+1}
Divide -3x^{2}-2x-2 by x+1.
