Study the equations, discuss and draw a conclusion

Method
  • Study the three equations involving surds: \( \sqrt{x} - 2 = 3 \), \( \sqrt{2x - 1} = 3 \) and \( \sqrt{3x + 10} - x = 0 \).
  • Discuss the questions below with your friends.
  • Draw a conclusion from your discussion.
Discussion
  • What could the values of the variable \( x \) be in these three equations?
  • How can the equations above be solved?
  • Is there a fixed rule for solving equations involving surds?
