Answer:

The solutions are x=0 and x=1

Explanation:

Assuming your equation is


√(3x + 1) = x + 1

Square both sides to get:


3x + 1 = ( {x + 1)}^(2)

Expand the RHS,


3x + 1 = {x}^(2) + 2x + 1

Rewrite in standard quadratic form:


{x}^(2) + 2x - 3x + 1 - 1 = 0


{x}^(2) - x = 0


x(x - 1) = 0

x=0 or x=1
