Description

This example demonstrates solving a radical equation with an x-term inside the radical and an x-term outside the radical. Solving equations of this sort often involves squaring both sides. However, it's crucial to check these solutions in the original equation, as the process of squaring can introduce extraneous solutions. This example demonstrates how solving radical equations can lead to higher-degree polynomial equations, requiring additional algebraic skills.
