9. Just like apples and oranges,
when adding and subtracting
radicals, do you think it is
important to consider that the
radical expressions are the
same?
11. 1. Read the problem and the guide questions
carefully.
2. Answer the task within 3 minutes only.
3. Write the given problem and your answers in a
manila paper.
4. Choose a representative to present your answers.
Instruction:
13. Combine like radicals by adding or subtracting their coefficients
and copy their common radicands.
WHEN ADDING/ SUBTRACTING
RADICAL:
If the radicals are not written in the simplest form, simplify first
the expression. Then, perform the addition or subtraction.
If the unlike radical expression is already simplified, we can just
copy the expression
