Similar radicalssuch as ... 5(sq root 7) + 3(sq root 7)
are similar because the radical has the same root index and the same number inside the radical. Like variables they can have different coefficients. 2x and 5x are similar ( called like terms) add the coefficients.
2x + 5x = 7x similarly
5(sq root 7) + 3(sq root 7) = 8(sq root 7)
To add or subtract radical fractions, you need to have the same radical term in the numerator and denominator. Find a common denominator and then combine the numerators (if adding) or subtract the numerators (if subtracting) while keeping the common denominator. Simplify the resulting fraction, if possible.

What is the meaning of addition and subtraction of similar fraction?
Similar fractions are fractions with the same denominator. In order to add or subtract fractions they need to be similar.
What are the Rules for subtracting radicals?
similar-a similar radicand is to add or subtract similar radicals we simply add and subtract there coefficients and Anex to the sum of their common radical part.

How do you add two fractions that have like denominators?
In fractions, you can NEVER add or subtract
Why are two fractions converted into like fractions?
Because you can't add or subtract fractions that have different denominators. Making them like fractions, by multiplying so the denominators are the same, you can add and/or subtract them.
To add and subtract fractions less than 1 you add or subtract only the what?
Numerators
How do you add or subtract dissimilar fractions?
You first convert them to similar fractions, i.e., to fractions that have the same denominator.* Step one: find a common denominator.* Step two: convert both fractions to equivalent fractions that have that denominator.
