ledah · Answer

that doesn't tell me anything about how to work this.

ledah · Answer

oh.

ledah · Answer

well I don't think that's what it's asking.  because 14 isn't an answer in this problem

ledah · Answer

its asking to simplify the addition of the radicals

anonymous · Answer

9x + 5y

anonymous · Answer

or 9√x + 5√y

anonymous · Answer

@Ledah Your post's confusing!

anonymous · Answer

Yup.
$$\sqrt{25x} + \sqrt{25y} + \sqrt{16x} = 5\sqrt{x} + 5\sqrt{y} + 4\sqrt{x} = 9\sqrt{x} + 5\sqrt{y}$$

ledah · Answer

I thought it was pretty clear. but then again. I'm probably the only one who understood it. so yeah I get where your coming from.

anonymous · Answer

The only thing that's confusing is whether the variables are under the radicals or not.

anonymous · Answer

I assume √25x + √16x + √25y

ledah · Answer

Yeah that would be it @Chlorophyll

anonymous · Answer

There you go! I'm glad at least you understand problem with your post!

ledah · Answer

yeah. sorry about that.

anonymous · Answer

Then the answer is: 9√x + 5√y
