Could you explain how you got that?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

5+1=6

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

sqrt2 +sqrt2 =2sqrt2 yes ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so than 5sqrt2 +sqrt2 =6sqrt2 ok ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm lets assume sqrt 2 as x so you will get 5x + x=6x. got the idea?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont know how u got that can u explain?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

this is like 5x+x=6x 5sqrt2 +1sqrt2 =6sqrt2 ok ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

assume \[\sqrt{2} = x\]\[5\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{2} = 5x + x = 6x = 6\sqrt{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):
