Answer:

x = 1/2

Explanation:

Let's represent this in a mathematical way,

(x+1)^2 - x^2 = 2

Ok now we expand,

x^2 + 2x + 1 -x^2 = 2

rearrange,

x^2 - x^2 + 2x + 1 = 2

subtract,

2x + 1 = 2

subtract 1 from both sides,

2x + 1 - 1 = 2 - 1

2x = 1

Now divide 2 from both sides and get your answer,

x = 1/2
