I can’t see mc016-1.jpg — could you either paste the equation here or re-upload the image?
Meanwhile, here's how to choose among those options: identify the radical/exponent in the equation.
- If there is a square root (√), isolate it and square both sides. That typically produces a quadratic (but could produce higher or lower degree depending on the expressions).
- If there is a cube root (∛) or a 3rd-power fractional exponent, isolate it and cube both sides. That typically produces a cubic (again degree can vary).
- After raising both sides you must check any solutions in the original equation (to discard extraneous roots introduced by the operation).
If you paste the equation I’ll pick the correct option and show the steps.
