IF
sqrt%282x-3%29+=+7
Squaring both sides
2x - 3 = 49
2x = 52
x = 26
IF
sqrt%282x%29+-+3+=+7
sqrt%282x%29+=+10
2x = 100
x = 50
Parenthesis cheap and SO necessary

Solve √2x-3=5
With clear steps!
If the radical only includes 2x, then x = 32

If the radical includes 2x - 3, then x = 14

Since you didn't bother to specify, then try to determine how these were derived.
