To solve square root equations To solve radical equations
Get radical alone OR get one radical on each side of = “Undo” the radical May have the “undo” more than one radical Solve for the variable Plug back into ORIGINAL equation to check for EXTRANEOUS SOLUTIONS!
x + 3 = 8 x = 5 Or x + 3 = -8 x = -11 MUST BOTH!
x + 1 = 8 x = 7 OR x + 1 = -8 x = -9
