Lesson 8
ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION OF
RADICAL EXPRESSIONS

REMEMBER

• Only SIMILAR RADICALS can be combined.

• SIMILAR RADICALS have the SAME INDICES


and the SAME RADICANDS.
IDENTIFY WHETHER THE GIVEN PAIR OF
RADICAL EXPRESSIONS ARE SIMILAR OR
DISSIMILAR

1. 2 𝟑&𝟒 𝟑 SIMILAR

𝟑 DISSIMILAR
2. 𝟑& 𝟑

3.
𝟑
𝟓& 𝟓
𝟑 SIMILAR

𝟒 𝟑
4. 𝟑 𝟕&𝟑 𝟗 DISSIMILAR

𝟑
5. 𝟏𝟎 & 𝟏𝟎 DISSIMILAR
1. 𝟑 𝟐 + 𝟓 𝟐 = 𝟖 𝟐 𝟒. 𝟓 𝟐𝒙 + 𝟒 𝟐𝒙 + 𝟐𝒙 = 𝟏𝟎 𝟐𝒙

2. 8 𝟑 − 𝟑 = 7 𝟑

3. 3 𝟖 − 𝟐 =
=𝟑 𝟖− 𝟐
=𝟑 𝟒∙𝟐− 𝟐
=𝟑 𝟐 𝟐− 𝟐
=6 𝟐−𝟏 𝟐
=5 𝟐
5. 𝟒 𝟏𝟐 + 𝟑 𝟐𝟕 − 𝟔 𝟑 =
= 𝟒 𝟒. 𝟑 + 𝟑 𝟗. 𝟑 − 𝟔 𝟑
= 𝟒(𝟐) 𝟑 + 3(3) 𝟑 − 𝟔 𝟑
= 8 𝟑 +𝟗 𝟑 − 𝟔 𝟑
= (𝟖 + 𝟗 − 𝟔) 𝟑
= 11 𝟑

6. 𝟏𝟔 + 𝟐𝟓 − 𝟖𝟏 =
=𝟒+𝟓 −𝟗
=0
𝟕. 𝟒𝟖𝐚𝟐 𝐛 + 𝐚 𝟑𝐛 − 𝟐𝟕𝐚𝟐 𝐛

= 𝐚 𝟒𝟖𝐛 + 𝐚 𝟑𝐛 − 𝐚 𝟐𝟕𝐛
= 𝐚 𝟏𝟔 ∙ 𝟑𝐛 + 𝐚 𝟑𝐛 − 𝐚 𝟗 ∙ 𝟑𝐛
= 𝟒𝐚 𝟑𝐛 + 𝐚 𝟑𝐛 − 𝟑𝐚 𝟑𝐛
= 𝟐𝐚 𝟑𝐛
TRY IT YOURSELF!

1.) 3 20 − 2 24 + 45 − 54
3 3 3
2.) 5 16 + 2 54 − 8 2
