5xSquare root of X minus the Square root of X-1=6 Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! When you write problems such as this one, you need write them in a way as to leave no question about what the problem is asking. Using parentheses is one way to do this.

I'll assume that it is the first one:
Subtract the sqrt terms.
Now add 1 to both sides.
Divide both sides by 4.
Finally, square both sides.
