Please use lower-case letters, such as 'a', instead of upper-case
letters for names you devise. (To avoid clashes with built-in
Mathematica names, all of which begin with '$' or else an upper-case
letter.) Thus you should use for your equation:
x + 1/(1 + r^x) + a == 0
Are r and a supposed to be real, or would complex values be OK? What
range of values do you want for r or for a?
What makes you think there is a solution? Have you tried plotting. Look,
e.g., at:
Manipulate[Plot[x+1/(1+r^x)+a,{x,-10,10},AxesOrigin->{0,0}],{{r,0},-10,10},{{a,0},-10,10}]
