Question

Simplify
(posting via equation editor)

Answer 1

\[\sqrt{144x}+\sqrt{36x}-\sqrt{25x}\]

Answer 2

First of all\[\sqrt{144}=12\]\[\sqrt{36}=6\]\[\sqrt{25}=5\]

Answer 3

Wow.. I feel stupid I COMPLETELY over looked that.

Answer 4

\[12\sqrt{x}+6\sqrt{x}-5\sqrt{x}\]

Answer 5

Can you do the rest?

Answer 6

you can use \[\sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}*\sqrt{b}\]
for example \[\sqrt{144x}=\sqrt{144}*\sqrt{x}=12*\sqrt{x} \]

Answer 7

sorry ,Diaadiya I didn't see your post; I'll delete mine!

Answer 8

Could I square the radicals to get rid of them?

Answer 9

@Neemo Its not a problem :)

Answer 10

No you can't @Ledah

Answer 11

ah okay then.

Answer 12

Since ,your question is to simplify it and you just can't square it

if it was an equation like this, you could square both sides

\[\sqrt{144x}=\sqrt{25}\]

Answer 13

So what did you get as your final answer?

Answer 14

not sure that I did this right. that's why I'm asking :c
I ended up adding the 12sqrt{x}+6sqrt{x} then subtracting the last one from it.

Answer 15

Yes! you're Right :) so what did you get ?

Answer 16

13 is what I ended up with.

Answer 17

You're right! don't forget the \(\sqrt{x}\)

Answer 18

Oh okay oopsie.
Thank you :D

Answer 19

You're Welcome :)
