You can perform any valid operation on one side of an equation, as long as you perform the same operation on the other side as well. Use basic algebraic operations to isolate the square root term on one side of the fraction. Note that when writing square root terms in text, "sqrt" is sometimes used as an abbreviation for "square root." Here's an example: If you have 9 - sqrt(x) = 2[sqrt(x)], add sqrt(x) to both sides to get 9 = 3[sqrt(x)]. Divide both sides by 3 to eliminate the coefficient -- the number in front of the variable term -- and finish isolating the square root term, which gives you 9/3 = sqrt(x) or 3 = sqrt(x).
I hope this helps.(^_^)
