Question 349485: Okay I've been staring at this problem for 10 mins, and I just don't know how to get the answer. Please help me.
sqrt ( x - 2 ) + 3 = sqrt ( 4x + 1 )
I know we're supposed to get one radical by itself, but one already is. And then the power rule to eliminate the radicals. But from there, I'm stuck. Thank you for your time.

You square both sides.
Then you'll have 1 radical.
Isolate it, and square both sides again.
Then you'll be radical free.
