Shadow:

Which one

supdasup:

wdym which one?

Shadow:

Do you think it is?

supdasup:

honestly I'd say c

Shadow:

Why's that?

supdasup:

because 13 + 3 = 16 5 + 5 = 10. Im aware thats prob not how it works but thats why I asked lol

Shadow:

\[a \sqrt c + b \sqrt c = (a + b) \sqrt c\]

Shadow:

That is the rule.

supdasup:

so b?

supdasup:

yup i got it

Shadow:

What you are proposing is: \[a \sqrt c + b \sqrt c = (a + b) \sqrt (c + c)\] See the difference? It isn't B..

Shadow:

13 is a, 3 is b, 5 is c

supdasup:

ok that makes it easier lol.. wait give me a sec

supdasup:

ok so then according to this a√c+b√c=(a+b)√c it is 13√8√5= 13 + 3 16√8?

supdasup:

or 16√5 then?

Shadow:

13√8√5= 13 + 3 16√8? You lost me

supdasup:

well if its c + b then 5 + 3 = 8 so I thought it would be 8 instead of 5

Shadow:

there is no c+b

Shadow:

\[(a \sqrt c) + (b \sqrt c) = (a + b) \sqrt c\]

Shadow:

Is that more clear?

supdasup:

ah ok yeah thx

supdasup:

so 16√5 then? D?

Shadow:

Correct

Shadow:

You can always check your work with this website: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=(13+sqrt+5)+%2B+(3+sqrt+5)

Shadow:

@Ultrilliam why doesn't this link work?

supdasup:

Ok awesome thanks Shadow

Shadow:

I guess just google Wolfram Alpha

supdasup:

yeah ok thanks

Shadow:

Yeah just try and do the problem first, and check your work w/that. Great resource.

supdasup:

Perfect thx
