Radicals & Rational Expressions on the SAT | Questions 7–8

Can you get both of these SAT Math questions right before I do? In Questions 7–8, we work through two algebra problems that require careful attention to equivalent expressions and valid solutions: ✅ Solving a radical equation ✅ Squaring both sides correctly ✅ Checking for extraneous solutions ✅ Factoring polynomial expressions ✅ Simplifying a rational expression by canceling common factors ✅ Paying attention to restrictions on the variable These are great examples of SAT questions where getting the algebra right is only part of the job. You also have to make sure the final answer actually satisfies the original problem. Try each problem on your own first, then follow along as I break down both solutions step by step. ▶️ Next: SAT Questions 9–10    • Can You Solve These SAT Circle & System Qu...   📚 Watch the complete SAT Math Prep playlist:    • SAT Math Prep | Actual SAT Questions & Ste...   Infinity - The Math Institute TheMathInstitute.com Math is just counting.
