Procedural Step Identification for Complex Radicals

A systems analyst is solving the radical equation m+1=m+9\sqrt{m} + 1 = \sqrt{m + 9} to model network latency mm. The analyst has completed the first squaring step and obtained the equation m+2m+1=m+9m + 2\sqrt{m} + 1 = m + 9. According to the standard 'isolate-and-square' procedure, what is the next mandatory action the analyst must take regarding the radical term before squaring both sides a second time?
