x + 3 = \/  2*x  + 18 
$$x + 3 = \sqrt{2 x^{2} + 18}$$
Detail solution
Given the equation
$$x + 3 = \sqrt{2 x^{2} + 18}$$
Transfer the right side of the equation left part with negative sign
$$- \sqrt{2 x^{2} + 18} = - x - 3$$
We raise the equation sides to 2-th degree
$$2 x^{2} + 18 = \left(- x - 3\right)^{2}$$
$$2 x^{2} + 18 = x^{2} + 6 x + 9$$
Transfer the right side of the equation left part with negative sign
$$x^{2} - 6 x + 9 = 0$$
This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 1$$
$$b = -6$$
$$c = 9$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(-6)^2 - 4 * (1) * (9) = 0

Because D = 0, then the equation has one root.
x = -b/2a = --6/2/(1)

$$x_{1} = 3$$

Because
$$\sqrt{2 x^{2} + 18} = x + 3$$
and
$$\sqrt{2 x^{2} + 18} \geq 0$$
then
$$x + 3 \geq 0$$
or
$$-3 \leq x$$
$$x < \infty$$
The final answer:
$$x_{1} = 3$$
