You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Hopefully, I am interpreting the problem correctly:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282sqrt%283%29%29%2A%28sqrt%2827%29-sqrt%283%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "If you want to add or subtract 2 radicals, you can only do so if you have the same
\n" ); document.write( "quantity under the square root sign for both of them. So, in this case, the first
\n" ); document.write( "thing to do is simplify that sqrt(27):
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%2827%29=sqrt%283%2A3%2A3%29=3sqrt%283%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Cool, so now I can rewrite the original problem with this sqrt(27) simplified:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282sqrt%283%29%29%2A%283sqrt%283%29-sqrt%283%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Next, simplify what is in parenthesis:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282sqrt%283%29%29%2A%282sqrt%283%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Next, do the indicated multiplication:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4%2A3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "And you are done:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%2812%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Good Luck,
