Squaring both sides of the equation $\sqrt { x } - 2 = \sqrt { x + 32 }$ leads to an equation with no real solutions, as the original equation implies $x$ must be a number that, when 32 is added to it, results in a square root equal to the square root of $x$ minus 2, which is not possible for any real number $x$.

Solve - x−2=x+32\sqrt { x } - 2 = \sqrt { x + 32 }x​−2=x+32​

Solve
- $\sqrt { x } - 2 = \sqrt { x + 32 }$
