Radical Equations Involving One Radical


The steps involved in solving a radical equation with one radical are as follows:

  1. Identify any restrictions on the variable.
  2. Isolate the radical.
  3. Raise both sides of the equation to the power of the index in order to remove the radical.
  4. Apply algebraic steps to isolate and solve for the variable.
  5. Verify the solution.
