I know how to solve this problem if it didn't have the second square root in front of the \"x\" on the left of the equality. I would show you work but all I have been able to do is move the -1 over to the left side      (as a +1). After that, I can't do anything else until I get rid of the squareroot in front of the \"x\". Here is the problem: <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=+sqrt%28x%29=+sqrt%28+x%2B2+%29-1+ ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"+sqrt%28x%29=+sqrt%28+x%2B2+%29-1+\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >.\r<BR>\n" );
