Question

good morning, can someone help me figure this out?
Is this equation true or false?
28-4sqrt 2= 24sqrt 2

Answer 1

false

Answer 2

false

Answer 3

Thank you, why is it false, Im having a hard time figuring out how to solve the equation

Answer 4

your equation implies sqrt(2)=1 which is indeed false

Answer 5

because the 4sqrt2 is connected, and therefore you would have to be divided to be separated.

Answer 6

when you divide by 4 it would make the sides unequal

Answer 7

thank you

Answer 8

no worries

Answer 9

just to make sure I fully understand, 28-4sqrt 2 ( the 4 and the two is connected) in order to make them seperated I would have to divide???? this is where I am confused...

Answer 10

yes 4 and sqrt(2) is connected.

Answer 11

I understand that much, its after that where I am confused

Answer 12

divide by 4 if you want to separate rt(2) and 4

Answer 13

to try to simplify this you would subtract the 28 from the left side to get:
-4sqrt(2)=24sqrt(2)-28.
[-4sqrt(2)]/-4=[24sqrt(2)-28]/4.
so the final answer would be that sqrt(2) does not equal 6sqrt(2)-7

Answer 14

Thank u....

Answer 15

Try and solve it and you would discover:
\[28-4\sqrt{2}=24\sqrt{2}\]
\[28=24\sqrt{2}+4\sqrt{2}\]
\[28=28\sqrt{2}\]

Obviously that is false.
