The basic method is the same as for other types of equations: you need to isolate the variable ("x", or whatever variable you need to solve for). In the case of radical equations, it often helps to square both sides of the equation, to get rid of the radical. You may need to rearrange the equation before squaring. It is important to note that when you do this (square both sides), the new equation may have solutions which are NOT part of the original equation. Such solutions are known as "extraneous" solutions. Here is a simple example (without radicals): x = 5 (has one solution, namely, 5) Squaring both sides: x squared = 25 (has two solutions, namely 5, and -5). To protect against this situation, make sure you check each "solution" of the modified equation against the original equation, and reject the solutions that don't satisfy it.
You first need to isolate one variable in one of the equations and then substitute that value into the other equation and solve for the remaining variable. Take the value you just got and plug it in to the other equation for the appropriate variable. Solve for the first variable that you isolated. Example: 2x-y=3, 4x+2y=6 2x-y=3 Isolate y. +y +y 2x=y+3 -3 -3 y=2x-3 If y=2x-3 then substitute 2x-3 in for y in the other equation. 4x+2y=6 4x+2(2x-3)=6 Distribute 4x+4x-6=6 Simplify 8x-6=6 +6 +6 8x=12 Divide both sides by 8 to isolate x. x=12/8 Simplify x=3/2 Now substitute 3/2 in for x in the first equation. 2x-y=3 2(3/2)-y=3 Again, distribute. 6/2-y=3 Simplify 3-y=3 Isolate y. -3 -3 y=0 (It can't be -y=0, because you can't have -0) So, x=3/2 and y=0!

Start with a quadratic equation in the form � � 2 � � � = 0 ax 2 +bx+c=0, where � a, � b, and � c are constants, and � a is not equal to zero ( � ≠ 0 a =0).

You can not increase a "Method". A method is a way of doing something. You could change your method, improve your method, simplify tour method, but NOT "increase" it.
An expression cannot be solved. It may be simplified, but that is not the same thing. And how it is simplified depends on its form. An equation, or inequality, can be solved but, again, the method depends on its nature.
To solve this system of equations, we can use the method of substitution or elimination. Let's use the substitution method. From the second equation, we can express y as y = 55 - 4x. Substitute this expression for y in the first equation: 7x - 5(55 - 4x) = 76. Simplify this equation to solve for x. Then, substitute the value of x back into one of the original equations to find the value of y.
You can combine equivalent terms. You should strive to put the equation in the form ax2 + bx + c = 0. Once it is in this standard form, you can apply the quadratic formula, or some other method, to solve it.

His method to figure out the difficult algebra equation was sucessful.
I could not figure out the math equation. The new data did not fit the existing equation. An equation can be a math formula or standard method.
y2=26 y2/2 l 26/2 y = 13 when using " 4 line method", the purpose is to isolate the variable. the coefficent states that you're multiplying y by 2, so to isolate the variable, you have to get rid of the 2, which you do by dividing y2 by 2. likewise, if the equation stated y+2, to isolate the variable, you subtract 2. it works the other way aroind, too. if the equation stated y/2, to isolate the variable, you multiply it by 2. the same thing with y-2. you add 2. now, the division property of equality states that when you divide on the left, you divide on the right, too. so when you divide y2 by 2 in order to isolate the variable, you have to divide 26 by 2 as well, giving you your answer of y+13. class is dismissed. ;3
