Subtract 8√23—√23
To subtract 8√23 - √23, subtract the square root terms:
8√23 - √23 = (8-1)√23
This simplifies to:
7√23
To subtract 8√23 - √23, we can combine the terms with the same radical:
8√23 - √23 = (8 - 1)√23
Simplifying further:
(8 - 1)√23 = 7√23
Therefore, 8√23 - √23 = 7√23.
To subtract 8√23 - √23, you need to simplify each term separately and then subtract them.
Step 1: Simplify the terms individually.
The expression is 8√23 - √23.
- 8√23 is already simplified.
- √23 is a square root term that cannot be simplified further.
Step 2: Subtract the simplified terms.
Now subtract the two terms: 8√23 - √23.
Since both terms have the same radical (square root of 23), you can combine them.
The simplified expression becomes: 8√23 - √23 = (8 - 1)√23 = 7√23.
Therefore, subtracting 8√23 - √23 results in 7√23.
