Adding and Subtracting Radical Expressions To add and subtract like radicals, use the
Distributive Property.
Examples3(5 3) x 3 35 3x x 38 x
4 2 5 3 Can’t be added, not like radicands
2 7 3 7 (2 3) 7 5 7
3 37 5 2 5 3(7 2) 5 35 5

Rationalizing Binomial Radical Denominators Sometimes you need to rationalize the
denominator of a fraction when the denominator is a binomial radical expression
Multiply the numerator and denominator of the fraction by the conjugate of the denominator
numerator conjugate of denominator
denominator conjugate of denominator
