Solve  (√(x+5)) +(√(x−3)) =4
$${Solve} \\ $$$$\sqrt{{x}+\mathrm{5}}\:+\sqrt{{x}−\mathrm{3}}\:=\mathrm{4} \\ $$

(√(x+5))=u; (√(x−3))=v  u^2 −v^2 =8 ∧ u+v=4                       ⇒ u−v=2  ⇒2u=6⇒u=3 ⇒ v=1   ⇒x=4
$$\sqrt{\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{5}}=\mathrm{u};\:\sqrt{\mathrm{x}−\mathrm{3}}=\mathrm{v} \\ $$$$\mathrm{u}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{v}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{8}\:\wedge\:\mathrm{u}+\mathrm{v}=\mathrm{4}\: \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{u}−\mathrm{v}=\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{2u}=\mathrm{6}\Rightarrow\mathrm{u}=\mathrm{3}\:\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{v}=\mathrm{1}\: \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{4} \\ $$

Another way  let (√(x−3)) =y⇒x=y^2 +3  (√(y^2 +8)) =4−y  y^2 +8=y^2 −8y+16  8y=8⇒y=1  (√(x−3)) =1  x−3=1⇒x=4
$${Another}\:{way} \\ $$$${let}\:\sqrt{{x}−\mathrm{3}}\:={y}\Rightarrow{x}={y}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{3} \\ $$$$\sqrt{{y}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{8}}\:=\mathrm{4}−{y} \\ $$$${y}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{8}={y}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{8}{y}+\mathrm{16} \\ $$$$\mathrm{8}{y}=\mathrm{8}\Rightarrow{y}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\sqrt{{x}−\mathrm{3}}\:=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${x}−\mathrm{3}=\mathrm{1}\Rightarrow{x}=\mathrm{4} \\ $$

(√(x+5)) +(√(x−3)) =4.......(i)  (√(x+5)) −(√(x−3)) =p (say)...(ii)  (i)×(ii): (x+5)−(x−3)=4p                      p=8/4=2  (i)+(ii): 2(√(x+5)) =4+p=4+2=6                         x+5=9                          x=4
$$\sqrt{{x}+\mathrm{5}}\:+\sqrt{{x}−\mathrm{3}}\:=\mathrm{4}…….\left({i}\right) \\ $$$$\sqrt{{x}+\mathrm{5}}\:−\sqrt{{x}−\mathrm{3}}\:={p}\:\left({say}\right)…\left({ii}\right) \\ $$$$\left({i}\right)×\left({ii}\right):\:\left({x}+\mathrm{5}\right)−\left({x}−\mathrm{3}\right)=\mathrm{4}{p} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:{p}=\mathrm{8}/\mathrm{4}=\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\left({i}\right)+\left({ii}\right):\:\mathrm{2}\sqrt{{x}+\mathrm{5}}\:=\mathrm{4}+{p}=\mathrm{4}+\mathrm{2}=\mathrm{6} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:{x}+\mathrm{5}=\mathrm{9} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:{x}=\mathrm{4} \\ $$
