k,

does your eq looks like this \[\sqrt {x + 9} − 4=1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If yes then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt {x + 9} − 4=1 \rightarrow \sqrt {x + 9}=1+4 \rightarrow \sqrt {x + 9}=5\] squaring both sides \[(\sqrt {x + 9})^2=(5)^2 \rightarrow x+9 =25 \rightarrow x= 25-9\] i.e. x= 16 is the required answer. @mathhelpnow

Extraneous Solution is a solution of the simplified form of an equation that does not satisfy the original equation. Here 16 satisfies the original eq so 16 is not an extraneous solution @mathhelpnow

You plug what you found for "x" back into the original equation. Then solve it. If it equals the original outcome that it gave you. Then it is the solution of the variable of the equation.
