A radical equation is an equation that contains a variable within a radical. In this course, you will only study radical equations that contain square roots.
Recall that you use inverse operations to solve equations. For nonnegative numbers, squaring and taking the square root are inverse operations. When an equation contains a variable within a square root, square both sides of the equation to solve.

Some square-root equations do not have the square root isolated. To solve these equations, you may have to isolate the square root before squaring both sides. You can do this by using one or more inverse operations.

Squaring both sides of an equation may result in an extraneous solution—a number that is not a solution of the original equation.
Suppose your original equation is x = 3.
Square both sides. Now you have a new equation.
Solve this new equation for x by taking the square root of both sides.
x = 3
x2 = 9
x = 3 or x = –3

Now there are two solutions. One (x = 3) is the original equation. The other (x = –3) is extraneous–it is not a solution of the original equation. Because of extraneous solutions, it is important to check your answers.
