Question 652734: how do you simplify 7 x's the square root of 48
I simplified square root of 48 as the square root of 16 x's the square root of 3
the square root of 16 becomes 4
then I multiplied the 7 x's 4 (28) and placed it next to 3 with the square root sign over it. I think my answer is wrong.

Question 655226: -4 square root(x+9)=20
square root of (x+9)= -5
we got this by dividing -4 on both sides,
now squaring on both sides
x+9 = 25
so
x+9-9=25-9
x=16.

Question 656517: I'm to use properties of rational exponents to simplify the expression, and assume all variables represent positive numbers.
(2x^1/5)^5
I got 2x^(1/5)(5/1)
I cancelled out the 5s and was left with just 2x, however, the book says it should be 32x. I know 2^5 is 32, but how would I raise it to the 5th power if I cancelled it out?

Question 659126: This is from adding, subtracting and dividing radical expressions.
The directions say divide and if possible multiply.
sqrt(72xy)/2*sqrt(2)
I did this 2*sqrt (72xy/2)= 2*sqrt(36xy)= 2*6*sqrt(xy)=12sqrt(xy)
The book says I should have 3sqrt(xy) as the answer. Is there a step I'm doing wrong?
