[SOLVED] Integration of (x/(x+2))

I've tried integrating x/(x+2). but seem to be going round in circles. I've tried integrating by parts and it didn't work. i was wondering does anyone know what way to do this.

Are you trying to differentiate it or integrate it?
 
integrating. sorry
 
How about a substitution?
