The reason they have to be simplified is that you cannot add radical unless the number under the radical is the same on all of them.
For example:
If you add √8 + √32 without simplifying, the best you could do is an estimate. But if you're required to put your answer in standard radical form this would be an issue.
So, you would have to simplify to combine:
√4√2 + √16√2
2√2 + 4√2
6√2

I= prt
I=$400 (0.06) (3)
I= 72
The 6% was changed into a decimal (0.06)
So I multiplied 400 x 0.06 x 3
The 400 would be the principal amount the 6% would be the rate and the 3 would be the time
Answer:
The child has 6 dimes and 5 quarters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let q and d represent the number of quarters and of dimes respectively.
Then q + d = 11 (Equation A), and ($0.25/quarter)q + ($0.10/dime)d = $1.85 (Equation B).
Multiply the 2nd equation by 100 to remove the decimal fractions:
25q + 10d = 185 (Equation C)
Now multiply the 1st equation by -10 to obtain -10q - 10d = -110 (Equation D), and combine this result with Equation C:
-10q - 10d = -110
25q + 10d = 185
--------------------------
15q = 75, and so q = 75/15 = 5.
According to Equation A, q + d = 11. Replacing q with 5, we get:
5 + d = 11, and so d = 6.
The child has 6 dimes and 5 quarters.
C.) 0.0001 is a power of ten
