Read each question carefully and solve for the variable. Remember to check for extraneous solutions.
Solve each square root equation. Show all your work.
1. √(x + 5) = 3
2. √(2x - 1) = x - 2
Fill in the blank to complete the solution for the cube root equation.
3. ∛(x - 4) = 2
Cube both sides: (∛(x - 4))³ = 2³
x - 4 =
x =
