combine the expressions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2\sqrt{18x^3}-3\sqrt{8x^3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[got \sqrt{x}\]

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

can you show me your solution?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ops

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it \[-\sqrt{x}\]

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

still no...i'd like to see your solution..

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

you seem to be making a consistent mistake..but i dont know what..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'll try it again.. sorry

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

but really i think you're getting confused with something that's why you're making a consistent mistake...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 0

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is indeed 0. They are equivalent expressions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe its because i'm studying with my book by myself

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

\[2\sqrt{18x^3} = 6x\sqrt x\] \[3\sqrt {8x^3} = 6x\sqrt x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You should still have the two under the radical there.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Same difference :]
