You can put this solution on YOUR website!
square both sides
\n" ); document.write( "x+1=(x-1)^2=x^2-2x+1
\n" ); document.write( "0=x^2-3x=x(x-3)
\n" ); document.write( "x=0 or x=3
\n" ); document.write( "--
\n" ); document.write( "validate by checking each value on orginal equation
\n" ); document.write( "x=0: \"sqrt%280%2B1%29=0-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "1=-1 this is not true so x=0 is not a solution
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "x=3 \"sqrt%283%2B1%29=3-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "2=3-1=2 check
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "so x=3 is the solution
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
