How to Solve an Equation with a Radical Expression on Both Sides

The video tutorial explains how to solve equations for x using inverse operations. It covers handling square roots by squaring both sides of the equation to maintain equivalence, transforming the equation into a linear form, and solving it. The importance of checking for extraneous solutions is emphasized, as correct calculations can still yield non-valid solutions. The tutorial includes a step-by-step example to illustrate these concepts.

What was the final value of x found in the example, and how was it verified?

Why is it important to check for extraneous solutions after solving an equation?
