$\lim_{x \to \infty}\sqrt{x^2+x}+2\sqrt{x^2+2x}-x$

I tried multiply the conjugate and can't work out. Please advise

It blows up: the first term is larger than $x$, and the second is larger than $2x$, so the whole thing is larger than $3x-x=2x$. (The lesson here is not to get so bound up in technique that you forget to think about what’s actually going on!)
