Please, help me understand how to find
$$\int \frac{dx}{x+\sqrt{x}} = 2 \ln(\sqrt{x} + 1)$$
Is it done by some kind of substitution?
Note: by integrating the LHS, not differentiating RHS.

$$ \int \frac{dx}{x+\sqrt{x}} = \int \frac{1}{u^2+u} 2udu = 2\int \frac{1}{u+1}du $$ proceed..(using $u = \sqrt{x})$

$$ \int \frac {1}{x+\sqrt x}dx=2 \int \frac {\frac {1} {2 \sqrt x}} {\sqrt x +1}dx=2 \ln(\sqrt x +1)$$

Try to use the substitution $\sqrt{x}=t$
