Yes. A simple example: sqrt(2)*sqrt(2) = 2 This property is used to "simplify" (rationalise the denominator of) surds.
13x+27=3x+32 Reorder 13x-3x=32-27 Simplify 10x=5 Simplify x=5/10 Simplify x=1/2 Answer
27 over 54 simplifies to 1 over 2. 27/54 = 27/(2 x 27) simplify up and down 27, you will get 1/2 27/54 = 1/2
Surds are normally irrational numbers but they can be simplified for instance the square root of 12 can be expressed as 2 times the square root of 3
The numbers are: -2 +2*sq rt 19 and -2 -2*sq rt 19 Check: (-2 +2*sq rt 19)*(-2 -2*sq rt 19) = -72 and (-2 +2*sq rt 19)+(-2 -2*sq rt 19) = -4

27 and 50% as a fraction is 55/2 or 27 1/2.
Whoever it was who discovered that if you had a square whose sides were one unit long, the lengths of its diagonals were sqrt(2) - surds!

27/18=3/2. Find the largest number that both numbers can be divided by. In this case, it is 9 (27/9=3 and 18/9=2) and in the case 18, it would be 2. So, 3/2 is the answer. Was this helpful?
