1-sqrt(x) = sqrt(1-x) first, square both sides
1 - 2√x + x = 1 - x subtract 1 from both sides
x - 2√x = - x rearrange
2x = 2√x divide by 2 on both sides
x = √x square both sides again
x^2 = x subtract x from both sides
x^2 - x = 0 factor
x ( x - 1) = 0 and setting each factor to 0, we have that x = 0 and x =1
Both of these solutions "work" in the original problem
