\/ 2*x - 1  = \/ 1 - 2*x 
$$\sqrt{2 x - 1} = \sqrt{1 - 2 x}$$
Detail solution
Given the equation
$$\sqrt{2 x - 1} = \sqrt{1 - 2 x}$$
We raise the equation sides to 2-th degree
$$2 x - 1 = 1 - 2 x$$
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$2 x = 2 - 2 x$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$4 x = 2$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 4
x = 2 / (4)

We get the answer: x = 1/2
check:
$$x_{1} = \frac{1}{2}$$
$$- \sqrt{1 - 2 x_{1}} + \sqrt{2 x_{1} - 1} = 0$$
=
$$- \sqrt{1 - 1} + \sqrt{-1 + \frac{2}{2}} = 0$$
=
0 = 0

- the identity
The final answer:
$$x_{1} = \frac{1}{2}$$
