sqrt(4x-3 2+sqrt(2x-5=> this is not good way to post a problem
I guess, you have something like this:
...if yes, than square both sides






....square both sides




....factor

.
There is NO equation in you post.

There is incorrectly written expression only in your post.

First of all, we need to set the restriction to allow the expression to be well defined.
4x - 3 >=0 and 2x - 5 >=0
x >= 3/4 and x>=5/2
Restriction: x>=5/2
now we solve by squaring both sides:
4x-3 = 4 +4sqrt(2x - 5) + (2x-5)
2x-2 = 4sqrt(2x-5) = 2(x-1)
(x-1) is positive according to the restriction, so we can squaring both sides
4(x^2-2x+1) = 16(2x-5)
x^2-2x+1 = 8x-20
x^2-10x+21 = 0
(x-3)(x-7) = 0
so acoording to the last expression we have 2 solution x={3,7}
but according to the restriction x>=5/2 so we don't have to discard any solution.
Final Solution={3,7}
