Answer: To add or subtract radicals, the indices and what is inside the radical (called the radicand) must be exactly the same. If the indices and radicands are the same, then add or subtract the terms in front of each like radical. If the indices or radicands are not the same, then you can not add or subtract the radicals.

Answer:

combining like terms. if the radicand is the you can combine the radical. this is the same as combining variables as long as the variable is the same if that makes sense

Step-by-step explanation:

so like you can add 7a and 3a because they have the same variable a. you can combined 2 root 2 and 4 root 2 because the radicand is same <3

Cell Phone Company A charges $20 each month plus $0.03 per text. Cell Phone Company B charges $5 each month plus $0.07 per text.

Ymorist [56]

Cost of company A=monthlyfee+text=20+0.03t where t=number of texts
A=20+0.03t

company b is monthlyfee+texts=5+0.07t
B=5+0.07t

1.
c=20+0.03t
c=5+0.07t
using c for cost is confusing because we can't tell which is for which company

2.

equal, means the costs are equal so
20+0.03t=5+0.07t
minus 5 from both sides
15+0.03t=0.07t
minus 0.03t from both sides
15=0.04t
divide both sides by 0.04
375=t
the answer is 375 texts
