How to simpify three radicals in an expression, 2root(24) + 5root(27) - root(6)
π Learn how to add or subtract radicals. A radical is a number or an expression under the root symbol. Radicals can only be added or subtracted if the numbers or expressions under the roots are the same for all terms. To add or subtract...

Solving a quadratic when a is not equal to one
we find two factors of the product of the constant term (the term with no variable) and the coefficient of the squared variable whose sum gives the linear term. These factors are now placed in separate brackets with x to form the factors...
