Add or Subtract Like RadicalsTwo radicals are like radicals if they have the same index and the same radicand. Simplify:

Simplifying variable expressions:You can apply the properties of radicals to expressions involving variables. When the value of a variable is negative, you may need to use the absolute value to find the nth root.
