E N D
Ex: Solve for x. Don’t forget to check your solutions!! ** ** Use this idea to solve the radical equations.
Ex: Solve for y. Don’t forget to check your solutions!!
Ex: Solve. Don’t forget to check your solutions!!
Ex: Solve. Don’t forget to check your solutions!!
Ex: Solve. Only use the positive answers when checking solutions. Factor this to solve! Don’t forget to check your solutions!! Solution
