To solve the equation, first isolate one of the square roots and square both sides to eliminate it. After simplifying, check the solutions in the original equation to ensure they don't produce extraneous results. The valid solutions are $x = 5$ and $x = 8$.

Solve the Equation 3x+1=3+x−4\sqrt { 3 x + 1 } = 3 + \sqrt { x - 4 }3x+1​=3+x−4​

Solve the Equation $\sqrt { 3 x + 1 } = 3 + \sqrt { x - 4 }$
