I need help with Adding Radicals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Write the question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can't really read that. Is that 6x in the 2nd square root? and can't see the 3rd one

OpenStudy (zarkon):

this... \[2\sqrt{24x}+3\sqrt{6x}-2\sqrt{54x}\]?

OpenStudy (fools101):

yes

OpenStudy (fools101):

sorry about that! writing!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{6x}\] is the answer.

OpenStudy (fools101):

Awww kk thank u!!

OpenStudy (zarkon):

\[2\sqrt{24x}+3\sqrt{6x}-2\sqrt{54x}\] \[=2\sqrt{4\times6 x}+3\sqrt{6x}-2\sqrt{9\times6x}\] \[=2\times2\sqrt{6 x}+3\sqrt{6x}-2\times3\sqrt{6x}\] \[=4\sqrt{6 x}+3\sqrt{6x}-6\sqrt{6x}\] \[=(4+3-6)\sqrt{6 x}=\sqrt{6x}\]

OpenStudy (fools101):

Awww kk thank u!!

OpenStudy (fools101):

AWWWW thank u!!

OpenStudy (fools101):

Awww kk thank u!!

OpenStudy (fools101):

OpenStudy (fools101):

Awww kk thank u!!

OpenStudy (fools101):

Awww kk thank u!!

OpenStudy (fools101):

Awww kk thank u!!

OpenStudy (fools101):

is it? 11 root 7?

OpenStudy (zarkon):

\[6\sqrt{7}+7\sqrt{7}-2\sqrt{7}=(6+7-2)\sqrt{7}=11\sqrt{7}\]

OpenStudy (fools101):

Awww kk thank u!!

OpenStudy (fools101):

\[6\sqrt{7} +7\sqrt{7} - 2\sqrt{7} would the Anwser be 11\sqrt{7}?\]

OpenStudy (zarkon):

if you want text while in math mode use the \text command then you would get \[6\sqrt{7} +7\sqrt{7} - 2\sqrt{7}\text{ would the Anwser be }11\sqrt{7}\text{ ?}\]

OpenStudy (zarkon):

from my work above you are correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[10\sqrt{7} - 15\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{3}\] You can't add or subtract here because the numbers that are in the \[\sqrt{?}\] are all different.
