    Need help with Surds men

    Thanks for the help! @Spiral: For question 8 (the second one) when I multiplied by the conjugate I got the answer x = 5, y = 2.

    My perfect pokemon white team

    Not a terrible team, but its not balanced. Haxorus, Bisharp, and Gigalith look cool, but competitively they are lacking (they are too slow to be competitively viable).
