To simplify \(3\sqrt{5} + 2\sqrt{5}\), you can combine the terms since they are like terms (both contain \(\sqrt{5}\)).
\[
3\sqrt{5} + 2\sqrt{5} = (3 + 2)\sqrt{5} = 5\sqrt{5}
\]
So the simplified expression is:
\[
5\sqrt{5}
\]
\[
3\sqrt{5} + 2\sqrt{5} = (3 + 2)\sqrt{5} = 5\sqrt{5}
\]
So the simplified expression is:
\[
5\sqrt{5}
\]
