To solve the equation <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><mi>�</mi><mo stretchy="false">!</mo><mo>+</mo><mn>2</mn><mi>�</mi><mo>=</mo><mo stretchy="false">(</mo><mi>�</mi><mo>+</mo><mn>1</mn><mo stretchy="false">)</mo><mo stretchy="false">!</mo></mrow></semantics></math>, we can simplify it by expanding the factorials and then rearranging terms to isolate <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><mi>�</mi></mrow></semantics></math>.

First, let's expand the factorials:

<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><mi>�</mi><mo stretchy="false">!</mo><mo>+</mo><mn>2</mn><mi>�</mi><mo>=</mo><mo stretchy="false">(</mo><mi>�</mi><mo>+</mo><mn>1</mn><mo stretchy="false">)</mo><mo stretchy="false">!</mo></mrow></semantics></math>
