Question

can someone please show me how to solve this, step by step?

Answer 1

\[\frac{ \sqrt{50} }{ 3 }+\frac{ 5\sqrt{3} }{ 6}\]

Answer 2

help, i need a step by step answer

Answer 3

i think you mean write this as a single fraction?
it is not an equation

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

ok
first we need to make the denominators of the fractions the same
so multiply first fraction by 2 to give:
2sqrt50 5sqrt3
------ + ------
6 6

now add the numerators to give

2qrt50 + 5sqrt3
--------------
6

now simplify the numerator - do you have some knowledge of simplifying radicals?

Answer 6

yes a little

Answer 7

50=\[\sqrt{25}\sqrt{2}\]

Answer 8

right and that = 5 sqrt2 right?

Answer 9

yes...correct

Answer 10

so can you finish it off?

Answer 11

so how do i add them together,?

Answer 12

yes

= 5sqrt2 + 5sqrt3
-------------
6

so factor the top and you have it

Answer 13

i get 10

Answer 14

oh no: sqrt2 and sqrt3 are different animals
correct is

5(sqrt2 + sqrt3)
--------------
6

Answer 15

o u dont add those

Answer 16

the answer is \[\frac{ 10\sqrt{2}+5\sqrt{3} }{ 6}\] where did the 5 come from? i thought they were added together

Answer 17

in the original problem, notice that the first fraction is divided by 3
you want to make that a 6 (for common denominators)
you want
\[ \frac{2 \sqrt{50}}{6} + \frac{5\sqrt{3}}{6}\]

Answer 18

which is what cwrw did

Answer 19

now rewrite sqrt(50) as 5 sqrt(2)
\[ \frac{2 \cdot 5 \sqrt{2}+5\sqrt{3}}{6}\]

Answer 20

ooooo.....ok thats the part that threw me off....wow ok

Answer 21

thanks!! thanks for the medal too lol

Answer 22

can u answer another for me

Answer 23

sorry - i missed out the 2 in 2* sqrt50
