Solving an Equation with the Difference of Two Radical Expressions

The video tutorial explains how to solve a mathematical problem involving radicals. The teacher guides through the process of eliminating radicals by squaring both sides of the equation and using the FOIL method for binomials. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of not distributing powers across addition or subtraction. The teacher demonstrates the simplification of expressions and verifies the solution by plugging it back into the original equation. The tutorial concludes with a successful solution, highlighting the complexity and multiple steps involved in solving such problems.
