Question 208450: I would just like to ask why do we need to extract square root in solving for the value of the variable? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! I would just like to ask why do we need to extract square root in solving for the value of the variable?
---------------------------
Sometimes you do and sometimes you don't.
If you end up with x^2 = 7 you need to "extract the square root"
if you are solving for x.
--------------------
But if you end up with x = 7 you don't have to "extract the square root".
