extraneous

2. √(2x + 1) + 1 = x 
3. √(3x - 2) + 3 = 4x

steps
isolate the radicand to one side of the equation. remember whatever you do to one side also do to the other
square each side  to get rid of the radicand and maintain the balance
isolate the terms with the variable to one side 
simplify if possible
divide by the coefficient of the variable

take a minute to review then I'll walk you through one after which you can try the others on your own and I will verify if you show your work and ask me to
