Question

-10√7+12√7how do you solve this

Answer 1

Adding the radical terms like the variables

To add them they must have the same roots

`\because-10\sqrt[]{7}+12\sqrt[]{7}`

Since both terms have the same root (root 7), then we will add their out numbers

`\therefore\sqrt[]{7}(-10+12)`

We will add -10 and 7, then write the answer with root 7

`\therefore-10\sqrt[]{7}+12\sqrt[]{7}=\sqrt[]{7}(-10+12)=2\sqrt[]{7}`
