Are these steps for finding the solutions of x + 3 = 3 x correct? (1)

Question:

Are these steps for finding the solutions of √x + 3 = 3 − x correct? (1) √x + 3 = 3 − x is given; (2) x + 3 = x2 − 6x + 9, obtained by squaring both sides of (1); (3) 0 = x2 − 7x + 6, obtained by subtracting x + 3 from both sides of (2); (4) 0 = (x − 1)(x − 6), obtained by factoring the right-hand side of (3); (5) x = 1 or x = 6, which follows from (4) because ab = 0 implies that a = 0 or b = 0.
