Solve each square root equation. Remember to check your solutions for extraneous roots.
1. √(x + 5) = 3
2. 2√(x - 1) = 8
3. To eliminate a square root, you must both sides of the equation.
4. An solution is a solution that arises from the process of solving an equation but is not a valid solution of the original equation.
