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. Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You square both sides.
Then you'll have 1 radical.
Isolate it, and square both sides again.
Then you'll be radical free.
