algebra precalculus - How do I show that sqrt5+sqrt24=sqrt3+sqrt2



According to wolfram alpha this is true: 5+24=3+2




But how do you show this? I know of no rules that works with addition inside square roots.



I noticed I could do this:



24=232



But I still don't see how I should show this since 5+232=3+2 still contains that addition


Answer



Hint: Since they are both positive numbers, they are equal if, and only if, their squares are equal.
