2 x + 1 + x − 3 2 x + 1 + 2 ( 2 x + 1 ) ( x − 3 ) + x − 3 2 ( 2 x + 1 ) ( x − 3 ) 4 ( 2 x 2 − 5 x − 3 ) 7 x 2 − 2 4 x − 1 6 ( 7 x + 4 ) ( x − 4 ) ⇒ x = 2 x Squaring both sides = 4 x = x + 2 Squaring both sides again = x 2 + 4 x + 4 = 0 = 0 = 4 x = − 7 4 is rejected because 2 x in RHS of the original equation is undefined.

√(2x+1)+√(x-3)=2√(x)
(2x+1)+2√(2x+1)√(x-3)+(x-3)=4x
2√(2x+1)√(x-3)=x+2
4(2x+1)(x-3)=(x+2)^2
(±)^2(8x^2-20x-12)=(±)^2(x^2+4x+4)
(±)^2(7x^2-24x-16)=0
(±)^2(x^2-(24/7)x)=(±^2)(16/7)
(±)^2(x^2-(24/7)x+(144/7^2))=(±)^2((144/7^2)+(16/7))
[(±)^4][x-(12/7)]^2=(±)^2[(144+112)/7^2]
±√([(±)^4][(x-(12/7)]^2)=±√{(±)^2[256/7^2]}
±±(±)^2(x-(12/7))=±±16/7
x-(12/7)=16/7
x=(12+16)/7
x=28/7
x=4
