Question 135770: I would appreciate some help on these adding radical problems,but of course I don't have the square root sign on the computer, so I'll try to explain the best way I can.Thank you for your patients in advance.
1)3 then square root sign 45 + 7 then square root sign 20
2)3 then cubed in the square sign then 16 under the square sign + cubed then 54 under the square root sign.

I hope I explained these two questions where someone could understand them.
Thanks again LH

Question 135825: hey i am taking algebra 1b this semester and i am having trouble understanding my homework. at the top of my worksheet it says simplifying radical expressions.
all my problems are fractions. i do not have a square root button so i'll try my best to explain one of the problems by typing "square root sign" since i have no square root sign. thankyou for your support and if this is to hard to understand without the square root button i understand.
"square root sign"75/"square root sign"3

this is a fraction of 75/3 with the square root sign over each number.

Question 136730: May I have this answer checked as well? I am not feeling confident within my factoring...
x2-9x+20 ÷ x2-16
-------- -------
3x-15 9x+36
=
x2-9x+20 * 9x+36
-------- -----
3x-15 x2-16
=( x2-9x+20)( 9x+36)
