Solution for (x+2)(x+1)=(x+3)(x-1) equation: 


Simplifying
(x + 2)(x + 1) = (x + 3)(x + -1)

Reorder the terms:
(2 + x)(x + 1) = (x + 3)(x + -1)

Reorder the terms:
(2 + x)(1 + x) = (x + 3)(x + -1)

Multiply (2 + x) * (1 + x)
(2(1 + x) + x(1 + x)) = (x + 3)(x + -1)
((1 * 2 + x * 2) + x(1 + x)) = (x + 3)(x + -1)
((2 + 2x) + x(1 + x)) = (x + 3)(x + -1)
(2 + 2x + (1 * x + x * x)) = (x + 3)(x + -1)
(2 + 2x + (1x + x2)) = (x + 3)(x + -1)

Combine like terms: 2x + 1x = 3x
(2 + 3x + x2) = (x + 3)(x + -1)

Reorder the terms:
2 + 3x + x2 = (3 + x)(x + -1)

Reorder the terms:
2 + 3x + x2 = (3 + x)(-1 + x)

Multiply (3 + x) * (-1 + x)
2 + 3x + x2 = (3(-1 + x) + x(-1 + x))
2 + 3x + x2 = ((-1 * 3 + x * 3) + x(-1 + x))
2 + 3x + x2 = ((-3 + 3x) + x(-1 + x))
2 + 3x + x2 = (-3 + 3x + (-1 * x + x * x))
2 + 3x + x2 = (-3 + 3x + (-1x + x2))

Combine like terms: 3x + -1x = 2x
2 + 3x + x2 = (-3 + 2x + x2)

Add '-1x2' to each side of the equation.
2 + 3x + x2 + -1x2 = -3 + 2x + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0
2 + 3x + 0 = -3 + 2x + x2 + -1x2
2 + 3x = -3 + 2x + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0
2 + 3x = -3 + 2x + 0
2 + 3x = -3 + 2x

Solving
2 + 3x = -3 + 2x

Solving for variable 'x'.
