It's okay, I am just saying, because when you say this you scare off some very smart people like tkhunny. he, for example, if he sees that he would be very critical about it... but nothing personal or bad... just explaining .

17a - 15a = 2a
17 oranges - 15 oranges = 2 oranges
17 math students - 15 math students = 2 math students

In the same way

$\LARGE  =2\sqrt[5]{3x^2}$
