Algebra 1

If you don't know the answer, or you're not sure, DON'T ANSWER! Thank you so much and any links will be reported!!

Problem:

-3√18 + 5√72 - √2

Respuesta :

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  20√2

Step-by-step explanation:

It is helpful to know your multiplication facts. For simplifying the radicals, you remove the perfect squares:

  [tex]\sqrt{a^2\cdot b}=a\sqrt{b}[/tex]

__

  [tex]-3\sqrt{18}+5\sqrt{72}-\sqrt{2}=-3\sqrt{3^2\cdot2}+5\sqrt{6^2\cdot2}-\sqrt{2}\\\\=-3\cdot3\sqrt{2}+5\cdot6\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{2}=(-9+30-1)\sqrt{2}\\\\=\boxed{20\sqrt{2}}[/tex]
