  1. Identify Extraneous Solutions: Woo Jin is solving an equation that involves a square root. When both sides of an equation are squared, as Woo Jin has done, there is a possibility that extraneous solutions may be introduced. These are solutions that fit the squared form of the equation but do not satisfy the original equation. Therefore, it is necessary to check for extraneous solutions.
