Question 696654: Solve algebraically for x: so there's a radical sign over 3x+1 and then +1 which is not included in the radical sign=x
3x+1+1=x
*Radical sign is over 3x+1
Please help and thank you very much. I really appreciate it!

3x+1+1=x
*Radical sign is over 3x+1
--------------------
sqrt%283x%2B1%29+%2B+1+=+x
sqrt%283x%2B1%29+=+x+-+1
Square both sides
3x%2B1+=+x%5E2+-+2x+%2B1+
x%5E2+-+5x+=+0
x = 0, x = 5
