Question 125691: Hi again.
I have another question with my homework. This lesson is on solving square root and other radical equations. here's the question..
Solve each equation. Check for extraneous solutions.

Thanks so much!

sqrt(7x+2)-2=7x
sqrt(7x+2)=7x+2 can't be that a square root of a term equals the same term UNLESS the term is=1.
thus 7x+2=1
7x=1-2
7x=-1
x=-1/7 answer proof
sqrt(7*-1/7-2)-2=7*-1/7
sqrt(-1+2)-2)=-1
sqrt(1)-2=-1
sqrt(1)=2-1
1=1
