Solve: sqrt(4x + 12) – 4 = 0
1. Get the radical by itself by adding 4 to both sides.
sqrt(4x + 12) = 4
2. Square both sides of the equation to eliminate the radical. --> (sqrt(x)) ^ 2 = x
4x + 12 = 16 (This is now a simple “solve for x” equation.)
3. Get the x term by itself by subtracting 12 from both sides.
4x = 4
4. Divide both sides by 4.
x = 1
The answer is x = 1.
Solve: (x ^ 2) + 8 = 17
1. Get the x term by itself by subtracting 8 from both sides.
x ^ 2 = 9
2. To eliminate the exponent, take the square root of both sides. (This is nice because 9 is a perfect square.)
x = 3
The answer is x = 3.
Solve: sqrt(50) / sqrt(2)
1. Break down the numerator. --> 50 = 2 * 25, so sqrt(50) = sqrt(2) * sqrt(25)
sqrt(50) / sqrt(2) = [sqrt(2) * sqrt(25)] / sqrt(2)
2. Cancel the sqrt(2) that is in both the numerator and denominator.
sqrt(25)
3. Simplify the perfect square.
sqrt(25) = 5
The answer is 5.
I hope this helps you understand how to do these problems on your own.

root(4x+12) -4=0
root(4x+12) = 4
4x+12 = 16
4x =4
x=1
x^2+8=17
x^2 = 9
x = +/- 3
simplify root of 50 over root of 2?
= sqrt(50/2) = sqrt(25) = +/- 5

(i) 4x+12-4=0
4x + 8 = 0
Divide both sides by 4: x +2 = 0
Subtract both sides by 2: x = -2
(ii) x^2+8=17
x^2 = 9
x = 3 or -3

sqrt(4x+12)=4
=>4x+12=16 [squaring both sides]
=>4x=16-12=4
or,x=4/4=1 ans
x^2+8=17
or,x^2=17-8=9
or,x=+-3 [square-rooting both sides]
sqrt50/sqrt2
=(sqrt50)(sqrt2)/(sqrt2)(sqrt2)
=sqrt100/2
=10/2
=5

Ummm the second one is:
sqrt (50) / sqrt (2)
= [(+/- 5) sqrt (2)]/ sqrt (2)
= +/- 5
