\[\frac{2}x+\frac{x}{(x+1)} + \frac{(x+1)}{3x}\]Is that correct?

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Factor all of the denominators into their prime factors: \[x = x\]\[(x+1) = (x+1)\]\[3x= 3*x\] Multiply all of the unique factors you find together, using the highest power that they appear with: \[x*(x+1)*3\] We don't repeat the \(x\) because it only appears as \(x^1\) in either of the denominators that contains it. If one of them had \(x^2\) instead of \(x\), then we would use \(x^2\) instead of \(x\) in the product. Our least common denominator is \[3x(x+1)\]
