Please solve these radical equations and show the steps so that I can understand them.

Please solve these radical equations and show the steps so that I can understand them. In my notes, it says the steps are to Isolate the radical, square both sides, solve for the variable, and check for the extraneous solutions so if this is what you are supposed to do please show these steps in action. Thank you for your time.

There are no equations here, just radical expressions. If the instructions talk of squaring both sides, then you must be posting the wrong thing, because there are no equal signs, and thus we do not have two "sides".

You are right I chose the wrong photo for the question my bad.@DrWatson

@DrWatson I think the instructor should be asking to simplify.

I put the wrong image twice, you might have to refresh the page to see the right image which only has two questions. @JimboSaturn

@JimboSaturn Yes, but he put the wrong image up.
