\(\sqrt{x^2-2x+1}\) + \(\sqrt{x^2-4x+4}\) = 3
<=> \(\sqrt{\left(x-1\right)^2}\)+ \(\sqrt{\left(x-2\right)^2}\)= 3
<=> \(\left|x-1\right|\)+\(\left|x-2\right|\)=3
<=> x - 1 + x - 2 = 3
<=> 2x - 3 = 3
<=> x = \(\dfrac{6}{2}\)= 3
b ,
\(\sqrt{x^2-10x+25}=3-19x\)
<=>\(\sqrt{\left(x-5\right)^2}=3-19x\)
<=> \(\left|x-5\right|=3-19x\)
<=> \(x-5=3-19x\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x+19x=3+5\)
\(\Leftrightarrow20x=8\Leftrightarrow x=\dfrac{8}{20}=\dfrac{2}{5}\)
