Find the exact value of the radical expression in simplest form.

\[2\sqrt{7x}+\sqrt{7x} -3\sqrt{7x} ^-7\]

Dont just want the answer. I need someone to help me understand it. please :(

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

not sure what the last term is ... perhaps -7 but look at the terms involving \[\sqrt{7x}\] there is 2 + 1 -3 \[(2 + 1 - 3)\sqrt{7x} = 0\] its just like saying 2x + x -3x = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^-7

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

ok so the last term is \[3\sqrt{7x^7}\]

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

rewrite the last term \[3\sqrt{7x \times x^6} =====> 3\sqrt{7x}\times \sqrt{x^6} = 3x^3\sqrt{7x}\] so the expression is \[2\sqrt{7x} + \sqrt{7x} - 3x^3\sqrt{7x}=====> (2 + 1 - 3x^3)\sqrt{7x} ==>(3-3x^2)\sqrt{7x}\]
