HI!!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

guess, i bet you are right

Nnesha (nnesha):

to cancel out square you have to take square root both sides \[\huge\rm \sqrt{m^2} = \pm { m}\]

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

@Nnesha. So B

@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: take the square root of both sides of your equation

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

C?

Nnesha (nnesha):

\(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @nuccioreggie @Nnesha. So B \(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\) you got that right we can factor 60 sqrt{4 times 15}= 2sqrt{15} but for this question B is right :-)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: we have to take the square root of 60 please keep in mind that we have two values, one positive and the other one negative, since the index of the root is an even number

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

Ooooh ok so it is B
