Solve in the exact form. (sqrt of 4x+1)+(sqrt of x+1)=2 Someone showed me to do this next: Square both sides..so.. 4x+1+2((sqrt of 4x+1)•(sqrt of x+1))=4 I do not understand where the 2 come from ..and why do we need to multiply the sqrt of 4x+1 and sqrt...

Whoops I meant .. Sqrt of x+3, not x+1..
