Does radical mean square root?, because radical can mean square root, cube root, fourth root, etc.
Well, I'm going to assume that radical = square root
So, if you have two square root functions, you can multiply the numbers within the square root, so you now have
, which I'm not sure if you want it simplified or not
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
be the greater number and
be the smaller number. We know that their difference is 15, so we have

Then, we have the following information: if we add twice the greater (2x) and 8 (2x+8), the result is 3 times the lesser (3y) minus four (3y-4). So, we have

So, we have the follwing system:

From the first equation, we can derive
, and substitute this expression in the second equation to get

Substitute this value for y in the first equation to get

This doesn’t make any sense
The 2 small black lines through the sides of the triangle indicate that the 2 sides are the same length.
Because the 2 sides are the same the 2 bottom angles are also the same.
This means that 9x +3 = 84
Now we can solve for x:
9x +3 = 84
Subtract 3 from each side:
9x = 91
Divide both sides by 9:
x = 81 / 9
x = 9
