The process of solving radical equations requires us to first isolate the radical on a single side of the equation, and then proceed to square both sides with the aim to remove the radical. If the equation includes multiple radicals, this process might need to be repeated. It is crucial to verify the solutions, as the act of squaring can potentially introduce irrelevant solutions.
