Solve for x in 3-√x=√x-6?
If you were to read the equation across, it would sound like three minus the square root of x equals the square root of x minus six. And to clarify, the square root on the right side of the equation covers the whole x-6, not just the x. Thanks!

parentheses work:
3 - √(x) = √(x - 6)
you'll have to square both sides twice
9 - 6√(x) + x = x - 6
15 = 6√(x)
225 = 36x
225/36 = x
or
x = 6.25
