Exercise 26 Page 395

To solve equations with a variable expression inside a radical, we first want to make sure the radical is isolated. Then we can raise both sides of the equation to a power equal to the index of the radical.

Finding the Solutions

Let's try to solve our equation using this method!
Since the radical is isolated, let's raise each side of the equation to the power of
