2 2 x − 1 + 2 1 − 2 x = 2 ⇒ 2 2 2 x + 2 2 x 2 = 2 Squaring both sides,we have, 4 2 4 x + 2 4 x 4 + 2 = 4 ⇒ 4 2 4 x + 2 4 x 4 − 2 = 0 ⇒ ( 2 2 2 x − 2 2 x 2 ) 2 = 0 ⇒ 2 2 2 x − 2 2 x 2 = 0 ⇒ 2 2 2 x = 2 2 x 2 Cross-multiplying, we get, 2 4 x = 2 2 ⇒ 4 x = 2 \color\green{\boxed {x=0.5}}
Nice solution :-)

@Akash Patalwanshi – That's ok.I suggest you to learn L A T E X from here .Also try to view L A T E X codes by hovering your mouse over them.This will help you learn new codes as well as pertain old ones to memory.
Nice collection of problems :-)

Let y = 2 2 x − 1
From equation,
2 2 x − 1 + 2 1 − 2 x = 2 2 x − 1 + 2 − ( 2 x − 1 ) = 2 2 x − 1 + ( 2 2 x − 1 ) − 1 = y + y 1 = y 2 + 1 = y 2 − 2 y + 1 = ( y − 1 ) 2 = y = 2 2 2 2 2 y 0 0 1
Thus,
2 2 x − 1 = 2 2 x − 1 = 2 x − 1 = x = 1 2 0 0 2 1 = 0 . 5
