As long as your indexes are the same (which they are; they are all square roots) and you radicands are the same (which they are; they are all 11), then you can add or subtract. The rules for adding and subtracting radicals are more picky than multiplying or dividing. Just like adding fractions or combining like terms. Since all the square roots are the same we only have to worry about the numbers outside. In fact, it may help to factor out the sqrt 11:
. The numbers subtract to give you -9. Therefore, the simplification is

Answer:
a). x + y + 90° = 180°
b). x = 67°
y = 23°
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of all angles in a triangle is 180°.
One of the angles in the figure is a right angle, or 90°. Therefore the sum of the three angles in the figure is:
x + y + 90 = 180
We are also told that x + 2 = 3y.
Rearranging that to isolate x gives us:
x = 3y - 2
Thake the first equation and substitute the above expression of in place of x:
x + y + 90° = 180°
(3y-2) + y + 90° = 180°
4y + 88° = 180°
4 y = 92°
y = 23°
To find angle x, use y = 23°
x = 3y - 2
x = 3*(23°) - 2
x = 67°
The sum 90° + 67° + 23° = 180°
