wow!,

thank you sooo much!..really appreciated!!

Melody,

Thank you very much for your assistance...appreciated!!

Hello Melody!!!!,

I am going to be VERY honest about this....the answer I actually got, was exactly the same as what you got...I promise you that. this morning when I posted the problem, i did not have my paper that i worked on, with me, so I did the sum afresh...and got lost. I figured that it was'nt a train smash if i did not put the sum exactly as I actually had it....the answer is wrong any case...so I left it as such

Yes I also did the 3 "i"'s etc...

Melody, yes, I checked and re-checked that answer....the "i" looks like it is within the square root sign...maybe they did a mis-print?

thank you guest..much appreciated

Hi Heureka,

I really thought I had replied, but for some reason I do not see it...I was asking yhis:

Because they asked for in terms of a and b, does it necessarilly mean that I cannot multiply the 3 with the bracket?..so 3a + 3b is incorrect?..the "a" and "b" has to be single digits?

Rom,

thank you for coming back to an "old" post...I honestly do appreciate your time with this. Thanx again for the explanation..I wish you a great day!!!

Thank you Rom...much appreciated!!..have a great day..

Heureka,

Thank you so much for the answer....how daft of me, to multiply the fraction instead of subtracting it...gosh....thank you kindly..

Hello Melody,

Thank you very much guest,
