To reduce the radical \(\sqrt{176x}\) step by step, follow these instructions:

### Step 1: Factor the number inside the radical
\[
176 \text{ can be factored into } 16 \times 11
\]

So, we rewrite the radical as:
\[
\sqrt{176x} = \sqrt{16 \times 11 \times x}
\]

### Input for Step 1:
\[
\text{Fill out: } \sqrt{16 \times 11 \times x}
\]

### Step 2: Simplify the square root of the perfect square
\[
\sqrt{16} \text{ is a perfect square and equals } 4
\]
So, we simplify:
\[
\sqrt{16 \times 11 \times x} = 4 \sqrt{11x}
\]

### Input for Step 2:
\[
\text{Fill out: } 4 \sqrt{11x}
\]

### Final Step (end of the process)
At this point, we have fully reduced the radical:
\[
\sqrt{176x} = 4\sqrt{11x}
\]

### Submit Answer:
Your final expression \(4\sqrt{11x}\) can now be submitted.

This concludes the step-by-step process to reduce the radical \(\sqrt{176x}\).
