Learn how to solve problems step by step online. Solve the rational equation (x+5)^(1/2)-x^(1/2)=2/(x^(1/2)). Move everything to the left hand side of the equation. Combine all terms into a single fraction with \sqrt{x} as common denominator. Multiply both sides of the equation by \sqrt{x}. We need to isolate the dependent variable x, we can do that by simultaneously subtracting -x-2 from both sides of the equation.
