2• radicand of 48y^5 power - 3y•radicand of 12y^3 power
\n" ); document.write( "Assume the problem is:
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2Asqrt%2848y%5E5%29+-+3y%2Asqrt%2812y%5E3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Factor inside the radicals to reveal some perfect squares
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2Asqrt%2816%2A3%2Ay%5E2%2Ay%5E2%2Ay%29+-+3y%2Asqrt%284%2A3%2Ay%5E2%2Ay%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Extract the square root of those squares
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4%2Ay%2Ay%2A2%2Asqrt%283y%29+-+2%2Ay%2A3y%2Asqrt%283y%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "which are now like terms
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8y%5E2%2Asqrt%283y%29+-+6y%5E2%2Asqrt%283y%29\"$ = $\"2y%5E2%2Asqrt%283y%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
