Let's get the square root on one side and everything else on another to get:

Now to get rid of the square root, we do the opposite of square root which is square both sides to get:

Using the foil rule we get:

I will let you try the rest from here... this is just a quadratic-- we know how to solve for x in this case (((HINT: you have a special RULEs for QUADRATICS)))
Let me know if you are still unsure where to go from here! Good luck!
