Answer

$$x = \frac{1}{3}$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & \arcsin \sqrt {2x} = \arccos \sqrt x \cr & {\text{sin}}\left( {\arcsin \sqrt {2x} } \right) = \sin \left( {\arccos \sqrt x } \right) \cr & \cr & {\text{*From the triangle shown below, we obtain }} \cr & \sin \left( {\arccos \sqrt x } \right) = \frac{{\sqrt {1 - x} }}{1} = \sqrt {1 - x} \cr & \cr & \underbrace {{\text{sin}}\left( {\arcsin \sqrt {2x} } \right) = \sin \left( {\arccos \sqrt x } \right)}_ \downarrow \cr & \sqrt {2x} = \sqrt {1 - x} ,{\text{ for }}0 \leqslant x \leqslant 1 \cr & {\text{Square both sides}} \cr & 2x = 1 - x \cr & 3x = 1 \cr & x = \frac{1}{3} \cr} $$
