6x-8=2+9x-1 How do you figure this program?

First, you try to get all your variables to one side of the equation, then solve:

-8 + 1 - 2 = 9x -6x
-9 = 3x
-9/3 = x
-3 = x
so, x = -3

You would first have to simplify the right hand side so it should look like this
"6x-8=9x+1"
Then you would have to move all of the terms containing x to the left hand side of the equation so it should look like this now
"-3x-8=1"
Now after that you would have to move all of the terms not containing x to the roght hand side of the equation so it should look like this now
"-3x=9"
Now you have to divide each term in -3x=9 by -3 to completely eliminate the fractions. So the answer should turn out as this
"x= -3

$\dfrac{x^2+ax-4}{x+2}+\dfrac{x+b}{x+2}=\dfrac{x^2+ax-4+x+b}{x+2}=\dfrac{x^2+(a+1)x+(b-4)}{x+2}\\\\\dfrac{x^2+(a+1)x+(b-4)}{x+2}=x+1\\\\\dfrac{x^2+(a+1)x+(b-4)}{x+2}=\dfrac{(x+1)(x+2)}{x+2}\\\\\dfrac{x^2+(a+1)x+(b-4)}{x+2}=\dfrac{(x)(x)+(x)(2)+(1)(x)+(1)(2)}{x+2}\\\\\dfrac{x^2+(a+1)x+(b-4)}{x+2}=\dfrac{x^2+2x+x+2}{x+2}\\\\\dfrac{x^2+(a+1)x+(b-4)}{x+2}=\dfrac{x^2+3x+2}{x+2}\iff a+1=3\ \wedge\ b-4=2\\\\\boxed{a=2\ \wedge\ b=6}$
