SOLUTION: Please help me with this equation [sqrt(x+1) + sqrt(x-1)]/[sqrt(x+1) -sqrt(x-1)]=3? I solved it as [(x+1) + (x-1)]/[(x+1) - (x-1)]=3^2 2x/2=9 x=9 When I check answer on calc i

Question 143830: Please help me with this equation [sqrt(x+1) + sqrt(x-1)]/[sqrt(x+1) -sqrt(x-1)]=3?
I solved it as
[(x+1) + (x-1)]/[(x+1) - (x-1)]=3^2
2x/2=9
x=9
When I check answer on calc it gives me answer with bunch of deciams. I have gut feeling I'm wrong somewhere.Please help me to figure out.Thank you so much!
