sqrt(x)-floor(sqrt(x)) is the non-integer part of sqrt(x). You know that is equal to the right hand side, or to sqrt(7)-2. So you can generate other solutions just be adding an integer to that number.

Your equation requires that the decimal part of sqrt(x) be equal to the expression on the right hand side. However, since there is nothing to specify what the integer part of sqrt(x) has to be, your equation has an infinite number of possible solutions.

Thanks for your suggestion, Richard.

Following up the suggestion, above. Checking with x=6; x=7; x=8. We have:

substitute,x=6,False.PNGx=6,False.PNG

substitute,x=7,True.PNGx=7,True.PNG

subtitute,x=8,False.PNGx=8,False.PNG

So x=7 is the one of the solutions. And the rests of the solutions are the question.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Loi.
