How to solve that with explanation by step

Solution

Let's solve each problem step-by-step with explanations. We'll simplify the terms in each equation and combine like terms.


1. 32x+52x3\sqrt{2x} + 5\sqrt{2x}

  • Both terms have the same radical (2x\sqrt{2x}), so we can add the coefficients: 3+5=83 + 5 = 8
  • Final result: 82x8\sqrt{2x}

2. 43y73y4\sqrt{3y} - 7\sqrt{3y}

  • Both terms have the same radical (3y\sqrt{3y}), so subtract the coefficients: 47=34 - 7 = -3
  • Final result: 33y-3\sqrt{3y}

3. 65z+25z6\sqrt{5z} + 2\sqrt{5z}

  • Both terms have the same radical (5z\sqrt{5z}), so add the coefficients: 6+2=86 + 2 = 8
  • Final result: 85z8\sqrt{5z}

4. 86a36a8\sqrt{6a} - 3\sqrt{6a}

  • Both terms have the same radical (6a\sqrt{6a}), so subtract the coefficients: 83=58 - 3 = 5
  • Final result: 56a5\sqrt{6a}

5. 57b+47b5\sqrt{7b} + 4\sqrt{7b}

  • Both terms have the same radical (7b\sqrt{7b}), so add the coefficients: 5+4=95 + 4 = 9
  • Final result: 97b9\sqrt{7b}

6. 210c65c2\sqrt{10c} - 6\sqrt{5c}

  • These radicals (10c\sqrt{10c} and 5c\sqrt{5c}) are not like terms because their radicands are different. Therefore, this expression cannot be simplified further: 210c65c2\sqrt{10c} - 6\sqrt{5c}

7. 32x+43x3\sqrt{2x} + 4\sqrt{3x}

  • These radicals (2x\sqrt{2x} and 3x\sqrt{3x}) are not like terms because their radicands are different. Therefore, this expression cannot be simplified further: 32x+43x3\sqrt{2x} + 4\sqrt{3x}

8. 73y212y7\sqrt{3y} - 2\sqrt{12y}

  • Simplify 12y\sqrt{12y} first: 12y=43y=23y\sqrt{12y} = \sqrt{4 \cdot 3y} = 2\sqrt{3y}
  • Substitute back into the equation: 73y2(23y)=73y43y7\sqrt{3y} - 2(2\sqrt{3y}) = 7\sqrt{3y} - 4\sqrt{3y}
  • Combine like terms: 74=37 - 4 = 3
  • Final result: 33y3\sqrt{3y}

9. 94z+52z9\sqrt{4z} + 5\sqrt{2z}

  • Simplify 4z\sqrt{4z} first: 4z=2z\sqrt{4z} = 2\sqrt{z}
  • Substitute back into the equation: 9(2z)+52z=18z+52z9(2\sqrt{z}) + 5\sqrt{2z} = 18\sqrt{z} + 5\sqrt{2z}
  • These terms are not like terms because their radicands are different. Therefore, the simplified result is: 18z+52z18\sqrt{z} + 5\sqrt{2z}

10. 65a810a6\sqrt{5a} - 8\sqrt{10a}

  • These radicals (5a\sqrt{5a} and 10a\sqrt{10a}) are not like terms because their radicands are different. Therefore, this expression cannot be simplified further: 65a810a6\sqrt{5a} - 8\sqrt{10a}
