Simplify Square Roots: Step Title: Simplify the Square RootsConcise Step Description: Simplify each square root term by finding the largest perfect square factor.Step Calculation: - The largest perfect square factor of 12 is 4, so 12=(4×3)=23.- The largest perfect square factor of 32 is 16, so 32=(16×2)=42.- The largest perfect square factor of 72 is 36, so 72=(36×2)=62.Step Output: 912=9×23=183, 40, 41
Combine Like Terms: Step Title: Combine Like TermsConcise Step Description: Combine the terms with the same radical part.Step Calculation: - There are no like terms to combine since each term has a different radical part.Step Output: The expression remains as 183+202−62.
Subtract Same Radical: Step Title: Subtract the Square Root Terms with the Same RadicalConcise Step Description: Subtract the terms with the same radical part.Step Calculation: - Subtract the coefficients of the terms with 2: 202−62=142.Step Output: The simplified expression is 183+142.
