y=2x^{2}+kx+3x+k+2
Use the distributive property to multiply k+3 by x.
2x^{2}+kx+3x+k+2=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
kx+3x+k+2=y-2x^{2}
Subtract 2x^{2} from both sides.
kx+k+2=y-2x^{2}-3x
Subtract 3x from both sides.
kx+k=y-2x^{2}-3x-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
\left(x+1\right)k=y-2x^{2}-3x-2
Combine all terms containing k.
\left(x+1\right)k=-2x^{2}-3x+y-2
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(x+1\right)k}{x+1}=\frac{-2x^{2}-3x+y-2}{x+1}
Divide both sides by x+1.
k=\frac{-2x^{2}-3x+y-2}{x+1}
Dividing by x+1 undoes the multiplication by x+1.
