5/6*x + 2= 4/5*x -3
5/6*x - 4/5*x = -3 -2
x*(5/6-4/5)= -5
x*(25/30-24/30)=-5
x*1/30= -5
x/30=-5
x= -30*5
x= -150

Compute the following radical.<br> sq root 144

lara31 [8.8K]

we are given

$\sqrt{144}$

Firstly, we will find all possible factors of 144

$144=2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3\times 3$

we can also write as

$144=(2\times 2)^2\times (3)^2$

now, we can put exponent to over entire term

$144=(2\times 2\times 3)^2$

now, we can replace 144

$\sqrt{144}=\sqrt{(2\times 2\times 3)^2}$

now, sqrt will get cancelled with square

and we get

$\sqrt{144}=(2\times 2\times 3)$

now, we can simplify it

$\sqrt{144}=(4\times 3)$

$\sqrt{144}=12$ .............Answer
