SimplifyHaving trouble..thanks ------------------------------------------------ Just as 5 apples + 4 more apples = a total of 9 apples, and 5 pencils + 4 more pencils = a total of 9 pencils, it is similarly true that 5 square roots of 6x + 4 more square roots of 6x = a total of 9 square roots of 6x. So __ __ __ 5Ö6x + 4Ö6x = 9Ö6x Edwin
