Solving radical equations

1. Solving Radical Equations
Module 2 Lesson 4

2. What is a radical equation?
A radical equation is an equation with a radical
symbol. For example 𝑥 = 2.

3. How do you solve them?
 Get the radical by itself, then get rid of the radical by using an exponent.
 Try this one: 𝑥 − 2 = 5

5. This one is a little different but same
idea…

3
2𝑥 + 1 = 3

7. Last one…
 4𝑥 + 3 − 2 = 0
Hint….isolate the radical first (get the
radical by itself)
