Detail solution

There are multiple ways to do this integral.
Method #1
1. Rewrite the integrand:
  
  $\frac{2 x - 1}{x + 3} \left(x^{2} - 4\right) = 2 x^{2} - 7 x + 13 - \frac{35}{x + 3}$
2. Integrate term-by-term:

    $\int 2 x^{2}\, dx = 2 \int x^{2}\, dx$
    1. The integral of $x^{n}$ is $\frac{x^{n + 1}}{n + 1}$ when $n \neq -1$ :
      
      $\int x^{2}\, dx = \frac{x^{3}}{3}$
    So, the result is: $\frac{2 x^{3}}{3}$

      The integral of $\frac{1}{u}$ is $\log{\left(u \right)}$ .
      
      Now substitute $u$ back in:
      
      $\log{\left(x + 3 \right)}$
