Do you mean sqrt%28x-8%29+=+sqrt%2813%2Bx%29+??
If so, then square both sides of the equation:
x-8=13%2Bx
-8=13

There is no solution to this equation. Perhaps I misunderstood what you meant. Did you perchance mean: sqrt%28x%29+-8=sqrt%2813%2Bx%29+ or maybe sqrt%28x-8%29=sqrt%2813%29+%2B+x?? Maybe you can indicate with parentheses exactly what is supposed to be inside the square root symbols.
