x^{2}=\left(\sqrt{x}\times \frac{x+x}{x}\right)^{2}
Square both sides of the equation.
x^{2}=\left(\sqrt{x}\times \frac{2x}{x}\right)^{2}
Combine x and x to get 2x.
x^{2}=\left(\sqrt{x}\times 2\right)^{2}
Cancel out x in both numerator and denominator.
x^{2}=\left(\sqrt{x}\right)^{2}\times 2^{2}
Expand \left(\sqrt{x}\times 2\right)^{2}.
x^{2}=x\times 2^{2}
Calculate \sqrt{x} to the power of 2 and get x.
x^{2}=x\times 4
Calculate 2 to the power of 2 and get 4.
x^{2}-x\times 4=0
Subtract x\times 4 from both sides.
x^{2}-4x=0
Multiply -1 and 4 to get -4.
x\left(x-4\right)=0
Factor out x.
x=0 x=4
To find equation solutions, solve x=0 and x-4=0.
0=\sqrt{0}\times \frac{0+0}{0}
Substitute 0 for x in the equation x=\sqrt{x}\times \frac{x+x}{x}. The expression is undefined.
4=\sqrt{4}\times \frac{4+4}{4}
Substitute 4 for x in the equation x=\sqrt{x}\times \frac{x+x}{x}.
4=4
Simplify. The value x=4 satisfies the equation.
x=4
Equation x=\frac{x+x}{x}\sqrt{x} has a unique solution.
