Every Tuesday, the Expii office has lunch together. Each week the team picks a restaurant and orders food, then goes and picks it up. Let $x$ be the number of people ordering, and suppose that $2x + 3$ items are ordered on a given day (food, drinks, and items to share). If each person can carry $x + 1$ items back to the Expii office, how many people need to go pick up the food?
