sqrt(5u + 2) = sqrt(3u + 14) Square both sides to clear the square root. 5u + 2 = 3u + 14 subtract 3u from both siides 2u + 2 = 14 subtract 2 from both sides 2u = 12 divide both sides by 2 u = 6 When you square a square root you MUST check the solution. sqrt(5*6 + 2) = sqrt(3*6 + 14) sqrt(32) = sqrt(32)
