👉 Learn how to solve radical (square root) equations having one radical term. To solve a radical (square root) equation having one radical terms, we isolate the radical term by placing it in one side of the equation. Next, we get rid of the radical by taking the square of both sides of the equation and then solve and simplify the resulting equation.
