Since the 37 is negative the parabola will open downward.
The coefficient on the outside of the ^2 tells you if it opens up or down. If it's positive it opens upward and if it's negative it opens downward.
For the parabola to open sideways it would be a form of x = y^2
The slope is 4/2, simplify to 2/1 or 2.
4/(x+1) = 3/x + 1/15
Should we make common denominators with everything, we get
4*15*x / [15x(x+1)] = 3*15*(x+1)/[15x(x+1)] + x(x+1)/[15x(x+1)]
Multiply both sides of the equation by the denominator to cancel them
60x = 45(x+1) + x(x+1)
60x = 45x + 45 + x^2 + x
x^2 - 14x + 45 = 0
(x-9)(x-5) = 0
The answer to this question is that the solutions are x=9 and x=5.
