Algebra.Com's Answer #166172 by likaaka(51)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! You are working with 2 terms here and you want to simplify to one term. \n" ); document.write( "Begin by factoring out the 9 from under the radical in the first term \n" ); document.write( "√(9y + 27) becomes √(9y/9 + 27/9), now simplify \n" ); document.write( "√9(y + 3) + √(y + 3), in the first term 9 is an even root and can be moved to the outside of the radical \n" ); document.write( "(√9)(√(y + 3)) + √(y + 3), simplify the square root of 9 is 3 \n" ); document.write( "3√(y + 3) + √(y + 3), now combine like terms. There's actually a 1 in front of the second term so add together \n" ); document.write( "3√(y + 3) + 1√(y + 3) \n" ); document.write( "4√(y + 3) \n" ); document.write( " |
