Let’s check out your problem:

Solve for x: sqrt(13-x)=sqrt(x-9)

Solve for x: 13x=x9\sqrt{13-x} = \sqrt{x-9}

Full solution

Q. Solve for x: 13x=x9\sqrt{13-x} = \sqrt{x-9}
  1. Square Both Sides: Square both sides to eliminate the square roots, 13x2=x92\sqrt{13-x}^2 = \sqrt{x-9}^2
  2. Add xx to Isolate: Add xx to both sides to start isolating xx, 13x+x=x9+x13 - x + x = x - 9 + x
  3. Add 99 to Further Isolate: Add 99 to both sides to further isolate xx, 13+9=2x9+913 + 9 = 2x - 9 + 9
  4. Divide to Solve for x: Divide both sides by 22 to solve for xx, 22/2=2x/222 / 2 = 2x / 2
  5. Check Solution: Check the solution by substituting xx back into the original equation, 1311=119\sqrt{13-11} = \sqrt{11-9}
