I just did this one today! There is a typo there. Both denominators (one on top and one on bottom should be (a+1)
 
I got a+2/a if both numbers on bottom were a+1... If it was a+1 and a-1 then both the lcd would be both those numbers and there would be alot of crossing out and the answer would be way bigger
 
Gotta love those typos! I remember sitting there for a solid 30 minutes trying to figure out how he went from one step to another only to realize its a FREAKING TYPO!
