This is what the answer says:
Note that the equation can be rewritten as $\sqrt{x} − \sqrt{2 − 2x} = 1$,
and the existence of such real $x$ implies that $x$ is larger than or equal to $0$ and $x$ is less than or equal to $1$, since we implicitly assume that $\sqrt{x}$ and $\sqrt{2 − 2x}$ are real as well. Then
$\sqrt{x} − \sqrt{2 − 2x} < \sqrt{1} = 1 \text{ if } x < 1$, and
$\sqrt{x} − \sqrt{2 − 2x} = 1 \text{ if } x = 1$.
Thus, $x = 1$ is the only real solutions of the equation $\sqrt{x} − \sqrt{2 − 2x} = 1$.
I don't understand how
$\sqrt{x} − \sqrt{2 − 2x} < \sqrt{1} = 1 \text{ if } x < 1$.
I understand everything else.
Can someone please explain? Thank you.
