I believe this is supposed to be x √(x+(√x-2))=2
x √(x+(√x-2))= 2 divide both sides by x
√(x+(√x-2)) = 2/x squre both sides
x + √x - 2 = 4/x^2
√x = 4/x^2 - x + 2
√x = [ 4 - x^3 + 2x^2] / x^2 multiply both sides by x^2
x^(5/2) = 4 - x^3 + 2x^2
x^3 + x^(5/2) -2x^2 - 4 = 0
WolframAlpha shows the solution to this as x ≈ 1.83436
