Do recall that squaring and the *radical sign* cancel each other out... like so:(
)
= a
When you put it that way, it isn't enough :P
()= a
(
)=?
so you start with
()= 
8x+1=25 <-- subtract 1 to both sides
8x=24 <- divide 8 to both sides
x= 3
To find out if it's an extraneous solution ask yourself: It mustn't result in a radical that I like to call... 'illegal'. Plug it into the radicand 8x+1 and make sure you get something that is not a negative number.... so, DO you get a negative number when you plug in x = 3 into the radicand?
(extraneous solution is a invalid solution)
x=3 not extraneous
