Question

$$\sqrt { y } - 2 = 8$$

Solve for y

$y=100$

Steps for Solving Radical Equations

Add $2$ to both sides of the equation.

$$\sqrt{y}-2-\left(-2\right)=8-\left(-2\right)$$

Subtracting $-2$ from itself leaves $0$.

$$\sqrt{y}=8-\left(-2\right)$$

Subtract $-2$ from $8$.

$$\sqrt{y}=10$$

Square both sides of the equation.

$$y=100$$
