Given equation is
On taking LCM on left side of the equation,
[tex]\rm \: \dfrac{3(x + 3) + 5(x + 1)}{(x + 1)(x + 3)} = \dfrac{8}{x + 2} \\ [/tex]
[tex]\rm \: \dfrac{3x + 9 + 5x + 5}{ {x}^{2} + 3x + x + 3} = \dfrac{8}{x + 2} \\ [/tex]
[tex]\rm \: \dfrac{8x + 14}{ {x}^{2} + 4x + 3} = \dfrac{8}{x + 2} \\ [/tex]
On cross multiplication, we get
[tex]\rm \: (8x + 14)(x + 2) = 8( {x}^{2} + 4x + 3) \\ [/tex]
[tex]\rm \: 8x(x + 2) + 14(x + 2) = 8 {x}^{2} + 32x + 24 \\ [/tex]
[tex]\rm \: 8 {x}^{2} + 16x + 14x + 28 = 8 {x}^{2} + 32x + 24 \\ [/tex]
[tex]\rm \: \cancel{8 {x}^{2}} + 30x + 28 = \cancel{ 8 {x}^{2}} + 32x + 24 \\ [/tex]
On transposition, we get
[tex]\rm \: 30x - 32x = 24 - 28 \\ [/tex]
[tex]\rm \: - 2x = - 4 \\ [/tex]
[tex]\rm \: x = \dfrac{ - 4}{ - 2} \\ [/tex]
[tex]\rm\implies \:x = 2 \\ [/tex]
Verification :-
Consider the equation
On substituting x = 2, we get
[tex]\rm \: \dfrac{3}{2 + 1} + \dfrac{5}{2 + 3} = \dfrac{8}{2 + 2} \\ [/tex]
[tex]\rm \: \dfrac{3}{3} + \dfrac{5}{5} = \dfrac{8}{4} \\ [/tex]
[tex]\rm \: 1 + 1 = 2[/tex]
[tex]\rm \: 2 = 2 \\ [/tex]
