It is correct but she doesn't explain how she did that.
I have no idea how she did that myself! A magic wand! :)
------------------------------
I would not have multiplied everything out as she did.
Here's what I would have done:
I'd multiply out as
Then I'd realize that if we factor out of
we get which is 2 times the 2x(x+1) in the
parentheses in the first term on the right:
Now to make things simpler, I will let u = 2x(x+1)
then 4x(x+1) will equal to 2u, and we have:
Taking positive square roots
And since , we have:
