Question

Simple algebra help?

Answer 1

Can I simplify \[\frac{ 6\sqrt{2}+6\sqrt{3} }{ -1 }\] to be \[\frac{ 36\sqrt{6} }{ -1 }\]?

Answer 2

If not how would I simplify it? Just divide the negative into it?

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle 6\sqrt{2}+6\sqrt{3} }\) are not like terms.

Answer 5

\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \frac{6\sqrt{2}+6\sqrt{3}}{-1} }\)

you can re-write as

\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle -6\sqrt{2}-6\sqrt{3} }\)

but that is the simplest you can get.

Answer 6

unless you want to approximate the square roots (using a calculator, or a taylor series)

Answer 7

Ok that's what I had but I wasn't sure so thanks @SolomonZelman
