(2x + 1) is as much as you can factor it without resorting to fractions. If you want to get x by itself,
2*(x + 1/2)
Use the quadratic formula as there are no integer roots.
x2 + 3x + 2 factors as (x + 1)(x + 2) and x2 - 3x + 2 factors as (x - 1)(x - 2)
Short answer: No common factors and no real roots.
Long answer: It can be factored, it just won't be pretty. Any time you're getting into the cube root of -1, it's dangerous territory.
Unless you know the value of X, the only factors of (x+2) that you can identify are itself and one (1)
