How to approach the questions

Develop higher algebra skills: systems, factoring, quadratics, functions, rational and radical equations, polynomials, exponential and logarithmic equations, geometry and trigonometry.

Identify the structure before choosing a method. Keep restrictions on denominators, radicals and logarithms visible, and substitute possible solutions into the original equation.

Watch for: Squaring both sides or multiplying by a variable expression can introduce an invalid solution. A correct algebraic manipulation still needs a domain check.
