I just need someone to check my answer lol

tkhunny · Answer

Why would square roots turn into 4th roots?  Simplify.  No guessing.

$\sqrt{27} = \sqrt{3^3} = \sqrt{3^2\cdot 3} = 3\cdot\sqrt{3}$

cp123 · Answer

oh so would it be $$4\sqrt{3}$$ i thought you added them together??

tkhunny · Answer

You DID add them together AFTER they we "like terms".

cp123 · Answer

im confused so is it $$3\sqrt{3}$$

tkhunny · Answer

Why did you change your answer after you already had it right?

3x + x = 4x -- Like Terms "x"
3 Dogs + Dog = 4 Dogs -- Like Terms "Dogs"
$3\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{3} = 4\sqrt{3}$ -- Like Terms "$\sqrt{3}$"
3y + x = 3y + x -- Not Like Terms

oh sorry I read your response as if I did it wrong. I meant my question as questioning for confirmation, miscommunication on my behalf sorry.

tkhunny · Answer

I never do confirmation.  Building confidence is part of what we are doing, here.
