x+√x -2 < [x] +[√x] ≤ x+√x

x+√x -2 < 2x-2 ≤ x+√x

therefore x+√x -2 < 2x-2 →x>1

and 2x-2 ≤ x+√x → x≤4

now lhs is integer therefore rhs should also be integer. hence x is integer.

form the above bound the only integers in range are 2,3,4

plugging them into the eqn we get x=3 and x=4 as the solutions.
