Solving Equations Containing Two Radicals

Question 21 • LJISD-TX-Algebra II-5th 6WKS

Does your response include the following?

Answer

Luca did not square the right side of the equation properly.

When the binomial with the radical term is squared, the result still has a radical.

After simplifying, both sides of the equation have to be squared again.

After simplifying, the resulting quadratic trinomial can be solved by factoring.

There are actually two solutions: x = 3 and x = 7.
