Solve for x:       ((6(√(2x)))/(x − 1)) + ((5(√(x − 1)))/(2x))   =  13
$$\mathrm{Solve}\:\mathrm{for}\:\mathrm{x}:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\frac{\mathrm{6}\sqrt{\mathrm{2x}}}{\mathrm{x}\:−\:\mathrm{1}}\:+\:\frac{\mathrm{5}\sqrt{\mathrm{x}\:−\:\mathrm{1}}}{\mathrm{2x}}\:\:\:=\:\:\mathrm{13} \\ $$

let  x=sec^2 θ  ⇒ 6(√2)sec θcot^2 θ+((5tan θcos^2 θ)/2)=13     ((12(√2)cos θ)/(sin^2 θ))+5sin θcos θ = 26   (((12(√2)+5sin^3 θ)/(sin^2 θ)))^2 (1−sin^2 θ)=676  ⇒  (a+bt^3 )^2 (1−t^2 )=ct^4   where  a=12(√2), b=5, c=676,      and  t=sin θ  (A polynomial of degree 8)

x≈2.028522 is the only solution ∈R  (found no exact value)

we can square it 2 times but we end up with  a polynome of degree 8 which has got no  trivial solution  [squaring like this:  (√a)+(√b)=c  a+(√a)(√b)+b=c^2   ab=(c^2 −a−b)^2 ]    approximated using a calculator  the equation is defined for x>1 so I started  with x=1.5, x=2, x=2.5
