Like terms
i like terms :D
wassssssssssssup
devai
where the question
:D
hold on let her write it
oh sry lol :)
Oh it took me a while to write it down 4x – 3x√5 + x√5
you can combine the last 2 terms however you cannot combine anything with the 4x
Do 4x-3x + 1x u get 2x
So ur final equation is 1x + 5
Expression*
I disagree @clanger555 I think you took a wrong turn there because you ignored the square roots.
Oh so it's wrong
Yes. You cant combine those terms like that. You can combine these two terms (-3x√5 + x√5) but you cant combine the 4x with those terms. So basically for -3x√5 + x√5 you add the coefficients to come to -2x√5 +4x
@sweetburger is right
So basically the asnwer is 4x−2x5√5
where did the extra 5 come in?
x 3 x 5 x 5 Simplifies to: 0.472136 x 0.472136 x 0.472136 x
wowow what is dis?^
@clanger555 plz
4x - 2x√5 should be what your looking for
@clanger555 were you repasting it?
x 3 x 5 x 5 Simplifies to: 0.472136 x 0.472136 x 0.472136 x
@AloneS. Shut up
Ur the one who needs help u shouldn't be talking
ILYY!!! <333
So i'm right ;) bruhhh your taking other peoples credit and reporsting them I'd prefer @sweetburger explaing everythign then you
To add to @sweetburger, we can only add like radicals. This is because it is essentially multiplying. For example, √9 + √9 = 2√9 because √9 = 3 and if we substitute that in the original equation: 3 + 3 = 2*3 = 6. As you can see, the same principle applies because we are essentially saying that we have two square roots of 9. If we think about it, the original equation is the same as 1√9 + 1√9, which we now know equals 2√9. With that in mind, we can now just add the coefficients of any like radicals and have simplified the like terms. Let's go back to your original example now: 4x – 3x√5 + x√5 Since we see we have like radicals with the two √5, we can just add the coefficients along with the radicals: 3x√5 + x√5 = 4x√5 We are now left with an equation that cannot be simplified any further: 4x - 4x√5 This is because the first term does not share the square root, and thus, cannot be simplified any further. Hope that helps in achieving your solution! Cheers! ^_^
