Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, please consider the following.

First, we develop and move everything to the left side, then we solve the equation, using the discriminant.

Finally, we get the expression of the two solutions and we can conclude.

[tex](x+1)(x+2)=(x+3)\\\\<=> x^2+3x+2-x-3=0\\\\<=>x^2+2x-1=0\\\\\Delta=b^2-4ac=4+4=8\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-2-\sqrt{8}}{2}=\dfrac{-2-2\sqrt{2}}{2}=-1-\sqrt{2}\\\\x_2=\dfrac{-2+\sqrt{8}}{2}=-1+\sqrt{2}[/tex]

So, m=-1 and n = 2

m+n = -1 + 2 = 1

Thank you
