+sqrt%282x-1%29%2B+2+=+x+
First step is leave alone the root square part such that;
+sqrt%282x-1%29+=+x-2+
After then take square of both sides;
+2x-1+=+x%5E2+-+4x+%2B+4+ as +%28x-2%29%5E2+=+x%5E2+-+4x+%2B+4+
Put everything in order so that >> +x%5E2+-+6x+%2B+5+=+0+
Finally >> +%28x-5%29%2A%28x-1%29+=+0+
x = {1,5}
