Solution - Radical equations

Radical Equation entered :

     √x+1 = 97

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Isolate the square root on the left hand side :

     Radical already isolated
     √x+1 = 97

Step  2  :

Eliminate the radical on the left hand side :

     Raise both sides to the second power
     (√x+1)² = (97)²

     After squaring
     x+1 = 9409

Step  3  :

Solve the linear equation :

     Rearranged equation
     x -9408 = 0

     Add  9408  to both sides
     x = 9408

     A possible solution is :
     x = 9408

Step  4  :

Check that the solution is correct :

     Original equation
     √x+1 = 97

     Plug in 9408 for  x 
      √(9408)+1 = 97

      Simplify
      √9409 = 97
      Solution checks !!
     Solution is:
      x = 9408
