solve for x:       (((√(2 − x)) + (√(2 + x)))/((√(2 − x)) − (√(2 + x))))  =  3

$$\mathrm{solve}\:\mathrm{for}\:\mathrm{x}:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{2}\:−\:\mathrm{x}}\:+\:\sqrt{\mathrm{2}\:+\:\mathrm{x}}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{2}\:−\:\mathrm{x}}\:−\:\sqrt{\mathrm{2}\:+\:\mathrm{x}}}\:\:=\:\:\mathrm{3} \\ $$

you should make your first step clearer.  in fact there are a few steps:  (((√(2−x))+(√(2+x)))/((√(2−x))−(√(2+x))))=3  (√(2−x))+(√(2+x))=3(√(2−x))−3(√(2+x))  4(√(2+x))=2(√(2−x))  2(√(2+x))=(√(2−x))  4(2+x)=2−x  6+5x=0  x=−(6/5)

the path of som (math67) is better, I didn′t  realize this possibility at first (always looking  for trouble, my thinking is too complicated  sometimes)
