You can put this solution on YOUR website!
if you have this:
%28x-1%29=sqrt%285x-9%29

%28x-1%29%5E2=%28sqrt%285x-9%29%29%5E2

x%5E2-2x%2B1=5x-9

x%5E2-2x%2B1-5x%2B9=0

x%5E2-7x%2B10=0.......replace -7x with -2x-5x

x%5E2-2x-5x%2B10=0

%28x%5E2-2x%29-%285x-10%29=0

x%28x-2%29-5%28x-2%29=0

%28x-5%29%28x-2%29=0
solutions:
x-5=0.....->.......x=5
or
x-2=0.....->.......x=2
