\mathsf{\frac{1}{x+1}+\frac{2}{x+2}=\frac{4}{x+4}}

\mathsf{\implies\frac{x+2+2(x+1)}{(x+1)(x+2)}=\frac{4}{x+4}}

\mathsf{\implies\frac{3x+4}{(x+1)(x+2)}=\frac{4}{x+4}}

\mathsf{\implies(3x+4)(x+4)=4(x^2+3x+2)}

\mathsf{\implies\,3x^2+16x+16=4x^2+12x+8}

\mathsf{\implies\,x^2-4x-8=0}

\textsf{Using quadratic formula}

\mathsf{x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}}

=\mathsf{\frac{4\pm\sqrt{16+4\times\,1\times\,8}}{2}}

=\mathsf{\frac{4\pm\sqrt48}{2}}

=\mathsf{\frac{4\pm\,4\sqrt3}{2}}

=\mathsf{2\pm\,2\sqrt3}

\therefore\textsf{Solution set is}\mathsf{\{2+2\sqrt3,\:2-2\sqrt3}}\}
