add and subtract radicals practice

1 answer

Sure! Here are some practice problems for you to add and subtract radicals. I've included a mix of problems to challenge you. After you attempt them, I can provide the answers!

Practice Problems:

  1. \( \sqrt{50} + \sqrt{8} \)

  2. \( 3\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{18} \)

  3. \( 5\sqrt{3} + 2\sqrt{12} \)

  4. \( \sqrt{27} - 4\sqrt{3} \)

  5. \( 2\sqrt{5} + 3\sqrt{20} - \sqrt{45} \)

  6. \( \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{18} - \sqrt{8} \)

  7. \( 6\sqrt{2} - 3\sqrt{8} + \sqrt{18} \)

  8. \( \sqrt{72} + 5\sqrt{3} - 2\sqrt{12} \)

Instructions:

  • Remember to simplify the radicals where possible.
  • Combine like terms when applicable.
