So Wolfram Alpha and Symbolab have different reuslt for this integral $\int \frac{x}{x+2}dx$. I done it myself and got result like Wolfram Alpha : $x-2\ln|x+2|$. Symbolab display this one: $x+2-2\ln|x+2|$. So which one is now more reliable?

Integral in Symbolab and WolframAlpha have different results

Note that the "$+2$" from Symbolab's solution is a constant, and can be "merged in", so to speak, with the constant of integration "$+C$" (since the sum of two constants is just another constant). Ergo, the two solutions are equivalent (since that's the only meaningful point in which the two differ).
