Let us first find the product of
\n" ); document.write( "(2√3) x (√5)
\n" ); document.write( "= 2√15\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now let us try to add\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(4 / 2√3) + (1 / √5)
\n" ); document.write( "= (4 x √5 / 2√3 x √5) + (1 x 2√3 /√5 x 2√3)
\n" ); document.write( "= 4√5 / 2√15 + 2√3 / 2√15\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now that the denominators are equal we can add the numerators\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "= (4√5 + 2√3) / 2√15
\n" ); document.write( " We take out the common factor from the numerator\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "= 2(2√5 + √3) / 2√15\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We cross out the factor 2 from the numerator and denominator\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "= (2√5 + √3) / √15
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
