I apologize for the frustration, and I appreciate your patience. Let's go through the calculation again from scratch without jumping to conclusions.
Given expression:
\[
2\sqrt{8} + 3\sqrt{8}
\]
Step 1: Combine like terms
You can combine the terms since they have the same radical:
\[
(2 + 3)\sqrt{8} = 5\sqrt{8}
\]
Step 2: Write \(\sqrt{8}\) in its simplest form
Now, let's simplify \(\sqrt{8}\):
\[
\sqrt{8} = \sqrt{4 \times 2} = 2\sqrt{2}
\]
Step 3: Substitute back into the equation
So, substitute this back:
\[
5\sqrt{8} = 5(2\sqrt{2}) = 10\sqrt{2}
\]
Final Answer
The answer is:
\[
10\sqrt{2}
\]
