x^{2}=\left(\sqrt{\frac{2x+3}{2x+3}}\right)^{2}
Square both sides of the equation.
x^{2}=\left(\sqrt{1}\right)^{2}
Cancel out 2x+3 in both numerator and denominator.
x^{2}=1
The square of \sqrt{1} is 1.
x^{2}-1=0
Subtract 1 from both sides.
\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)=0
Consider x^{2}-1. Rewrite x^{2}-1 as x^{2}-1^{2}. The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right).
x=1 x=-1
To find equation solutions, solve x-1=0 and x+1=0.
1=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 1+3}{2\times 1+3}}
Substitute 1 for x in the equation x=\sqrt{\frac{2x+3}{2x+3}}.
1=1
Simplify. The value x=1 satisfies the equation.
-1=\sqrt{\frac{2\left(-1\right)+3}{2\left(-1\right)+3}}
Substitute -1 for x in the equation x=\sqrt{\frac{2x+3}{2x+3}}.
-1=1
Simplify. The value x=-1 does not satisfy the equation because the left and the right hand side have opposite signs.
x=1
Equation x=\sqrt{\frac{2x+3}{2x+3}} has a unique solution.
