Hopefully your question is sqrt%285x%5E2-3x%29=2x
To solve this we need to square both sides to get rid of that nasty square root on the left hand side.
this will give 5x%5E2-3x=4x%5E2
rearranging this equation and simplifying we get
x%5E2-3x=0
we can take out the common factor of x to give
x(x-3)=0
therefore x=0 or x-3=0 i.e. x=3
