equation is:

k/((j+x)*^(1/2-a))+1=r/(x-1)

Been spending countless hours on trying to figure a way to make x the subject in the equation and haven't got anywhere.

Is it possible? I want to rearrange the equation so the x is by itself.
 
What is "*^"? If it is exponentiation or a combination of complex conjugation and exponentiation, it is impossible (but it could be possible to get approximations in some cases). If it is multiplication, it is possible.
