You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You put one on each side of the equal sign and raise each side to a power equal to the index.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%28mx%2Ba%29-sqrt%28nx%2Bb%29=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%28mx%2Ba%29-sqrt%28nx%2Bb%29%2Bsqrt%28nx%2Bb%29=0%2Bsqrt%28nx%2Bb%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%28mx%2Ba%29=sqrt%28nx%2Bb%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28sqrt%28mx%2Ba%29%29%5E2=%28sqrt%28nx%2Bb%29%29%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"mx%2Ba=nx%2Bb\"$ solve as usual.

\n" ); document.write( "Sometimes you end up having to foil if you have an extra term, then you will still have a radical left and will have to isolate the radical and square both sides again.
\n" ); document.write( "If you ask a specific problem, I can show you how to work it out.
\n" ); document.write( "Remember, always check your solutions, because you can get false solutions called extraneous solutions.
