What square root property is essential to solve any radical equation involving square root?
Yes, when there are parenthesis in an equation, you have to use the distibutive property.
The addition property says that if you add the same number (or subtract the same number)from both sides of the eqaution you do not change the equation. So to solve and equation you must get the unknown by itself, so you need to use this property, often along with the multiplication property. For example if X -5 = 3 you can use addition property to add 5 to both sides: X - 5 + 5 = 3 + 5 X = 8
