These web-based activities were developed, during summer sessions from 1997 through 1999, by students at Mainland High School, located in Daytona Beach, FL. As part of Mainland's CCTT grant, the students were given permission by the book's publisher to convert the ancillary materials of the County's adopted Algebra 1 textbook (Glencoe Algebra 1 — ISBN: 9780028253282) into html format.

Solving Radical Equations

Solve radical equations (equations containing radicals with variables in the radicand) as follows:

1. Isolate the radical on one side of the eequations.
2. Then square each side of the equation to eliminate the radical.

Check the solution by substituting 8 into the original equation.

Solve each equation. Check your solution.
