That's an expression, not an equation. Equations have an equal sign
\n" ); document.write( "and we end up knowing what number the letter equals to. An expression
\n" ); document.write( "has no equal sign and we never know what number the letter equals to.
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Since the indices of the radicals are not the same we\r\n" );
document.write( "cannot multiply under the radicals, so we must get\r\n" );
document.write( "the radicals to having the same index:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Write  as  \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Write  as \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Reduce the fraction exponent  to \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Write  as \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now we can multiply underneath the radicals.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
