If I read your problem correctly, it is:
sqrt%28x%2B5%29=sqrt%28x%2B45%29
If this is the equation, there is no solution, here is the proof:
square both sides of the equation
x+5=x+45
subtract 5 from both sides
x=x+40
subtract x from both sides:
0=40
this is not a true statement so there is no solution.
