Did you ever noticehow much sense
mathematical definitionsusually make?

The goal in solvingradical equations
is the same as the goalin solving most equations.

But there is only one wayto move the variableout from under thesquare root sign.

We need to square the
43 x
radical expression.

And, because it is anequation,
what we do to one side,

And, because it is an
24
equation,what we do to one side,
we have to do to the other.
