The promble is

(2/x+1) - (3/x)= (12/(x^2 +x))

How do i start it? how do i solve for x? it looks so easy
 
Assuming that you mean the following:

. . . . .2/(x + 1) - 3/x = 12/(x<sup>2</sup> + x)

Find the common denominator, and multiply through to get:

. . . . .2x - 3(x + 1) = 12

Then solve the linear equation.
