OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

righ.. so what's 8 sqrt 15 + sqrt 15?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait I'm confused so I'd add 9x+8x?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

noo...8x + x = 9x right?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

now just think of sqrt 15 as x so what is the value for 8 sqrt 15 + sqrt 15?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
