Fill in the Blank

A manufacturing technician is solving the equation q2+3=4q+1\sqrt{q - 2} + 3 = \sqrt{4q + 1} to determine the required flow rate qq for a cooling system. After squaring both sides once and simplifying to 6q2=3q66\sqrt{q - 2} = 3q - 6, the technician must square both sides a second time. This second squaring step transforms the equation into a(n) ________ equation that must be solved by factoring.
