Examples of rational equations in one variable:
If A and B are expressions, then all solutions of the equation A = B are among the solutions of the equation A2 = B2. That is, the solutions of an equation are among the solutions of the equation obtained by squaring both sides.

Extraneous Solutions:
Because squaring both sides of a square root equation may introduce extraneous solutions, it is essential to check that each proposed solution satisfies the original equation.

To solve a square root equation in one variable,
1. Isolate a square root term on one side of the equation.
2. Square both sides.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until no square root terms remain.
4. Solve the new equation.
5. Check that each proposed solution satisfies the original equation.
