If you have the equation , to find "x", you simply solve the two equations or

So in this case, to solve , you'll need to solve (you'll get two solutions here) and you'll need to solve (you'll get two more solutions here)

Once you have the four possible solutions, you need to check them. If any possible solutions do not satisfy the original equation , then they are not a solution.

Let me know if this makes sense. If not, then repost or email me.
