Problem :

1 1 1 1
x=( x− ) 2 +(1− ) 2
x x

Kill this equation to find x…

We gonna use the “usual way”

Raise both sides to the power of 2

2
1 1
2
(√
( x ) = 1− + x−
x x √ )
We’ll get
2
2 ( x−1 ) ( x +1 )
2
1− + x +2
x √
x 2
=x 2

Use the common denominator which is x

2 2
−2+ x + x 2+2 x √ ( x−1 ) ¿ ¿ ¿¿
Multiply both sides with x
2

−2+ x + x 2+2 x √ ( x−1 ) ( x+1)

x2
=x 3
Bring −2+ x + x 2 to RHS
2
( x−1 ) ( x+ 1 ) 3 2
2x
√ x2
=x −x −x +2

Raise again to the power of 2

2
4 ( x−1 )2 ( x +1 )=( x 3−x 2−x +2 )
Expand both sides

4 x3 −4 x 2−4 x +4=x 6−2 x 5−x 4 +6 x 3−3 x 2−4 x+ 4

Subtract them, we’ll get

−x 6 +2 x 5 + x 4 −2 x 3−x 2=0
Factor x 2
2
−x 2 ( x 2−x−1 ) =0
Split into 2 cases
x 2=0 or x 2−x−1=0

−b ± √ b2−4 ac
We know by x=
2a
( 1−√ 5 ) ( 1+ √ 5 )
We’ll get x=0 , x= , x=
2 2
( 1−√ 5 )
The solution for x=0 , x= is incorrect if we bring it into original form, thus the answer is
2
( 1+ √ 5 )
x=
