Why is 1 1 ( n + 1 ) + 1 ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) = 1 ( n + 2 ) 1 ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) ?
This is a step during a mathematical induction inside a textbook example I don't get
Also, if anyone has some good online resources to practice this sort of stuff, I'd be eternally grateful!

Because
1 1 n + 1 + 1 ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) = 1 n + 2 ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) + 1 ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) = 1 ( n + 2 ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) 1 ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) ) = 1 ( ( n + 2 ) 1 ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) ) = 1 ( n + 2 ) 1 ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 )
