1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $2\ln\left(\frac{x+2}{x+1}\right)$.
2. **Recall the logarithm power rule:** $a\ln(b) = \ln(b^a)$. This means we can move the coefficient 2 inside the logarithm as an exponent.
3. **Apply the power rule:**
$$2\ln\left(\frac{x+2}{x+1}\right) = \ln\left(\left(\frac{x+2}{x+1}\right)^2\right)$$
4. **Simplify the expression inside the logarithm:**
$$\ln\left(\frac{(x+2)^2}{(x+1)^2}\right)$$
5. **Final simplified form:**
$$\boxed{\ln\left(\frac{(x+2)^2}{(x+1)^2}\right)}$$
This is the simplified form of the original expression using logarithm properties.
