The square root of x squared cancels out, so you're left with x on that side.
Then you need to get your x's one one side and your numbers on the other:
x+x=3-5
Add like terms:
2x=-2
Divide by 2:
x=-1

the square root of x squared is x, so you get x +5 = 3-x
Carry all the x's to one side and you get 2x= 3-5
2x=-2
x= -1
Unless you mean root of ( x squared + 5), cuz then you've got to square both sides and then solve.
