When we come across large and complicated expressions, we have to work step by step; as a first goal, we can multiply the top and bottom of the fraction

\displaystyle \frac{1}{1+\dfrac{1}{1+x}}

by \displaystyle 1+x, so as to reduce it to an expression having one fraction sign

\displaystyle \begin{align}

\frac{1}{1+\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{1}{1+x}}} &= \frac{1}{1+\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{1}{1+x}}\cdot\dfrac{1+x}{1+x}}\\[8pt] &= \frac{1}{1+\dfrac{1+x}{\Bigl(1+\dfrac{1}{1+x}\Bigr)(1+x)}}\\[8pt] &= \frac{1}{1+\dfrac{1+x}{1+x+\dfrac{1+x}{1+x}}}\\[8pt] &= \frac{1}{1+\dfrac{1+x}{1+x+1}}\\[8pt] &= \frac{1}{1+\dfrac{x+1}{x+2}}\,\textrm{.} \end{align}

The next step is to multiply the top and bottom of our new expression by \displaystyle x+2, so as to obtain the final answer,

\displaystyle \begin{align}

\frac{1}{1+\dfrac{x+1}{x+2}}\cdot\frac{x+2}{x+2} &= \frac{x+2}{\Bigl(1+\dfrac{x+1}{x+2}\Bigr)(x+2)}\\[8pt] &= \frac{x+2}{x+2+\dfrac{x+1}{x+2}(x+2)}\\[8pt] &= \frac{x+2}{x+2+x+1}\\[8pt] &= \frac{x+2}{2x+3}\,\textrm{.} \end{align}
