Solve the equation n! + (n+1)! = (n+2)!.

(n+2)!= 1*2*3*...(n-1)*(n)*(n+1)*(n+2) = n!*(n+1)*(n+2)


(n+1)!= 1*2*3*...(n-1)*(n)*(n+1) = n!*(n+1)


n!= 1*2*3*..*(n-1)*n


n! + (n+1)! = (n+2)!


We'll re-write the equation:


n! + n!*(n+1) = n!*(n+1)*(n+2)


We'll factorize, to the left side:


n!*(1+n+1) = n!*(n+1)*(n+2)


n!*(n+2) = n!*(n+1)*(n+2)


We can divide by the same factors, from both sides.


1 = n+1


We'll add the value -1, both sides:


1-1 = n+1-1


n=0, is the solution of the equation.
