7 squareroot 21 + 4 squareroot 84

1 answer

To simplify the expression \( 7 \sqrt{21} + 4 \sqrt{84} \), we can start by simplifying \( \sqrt{84} \):

\[ \sqrt{84} = \sqrt{4 \times 21} = \sqrt{4} \times \sqrt{21} = 2 \sqrt{21} \]

Now we can substitute \( \sqrt{84} \) back into the original expression:

\[ 4 \sqrt{84} = 4 \times 2 \sqrt{21} = 8 \sqrt{21} \]

Now, we can combine the terms:

\[ 7 \sqrt{21} + 8 \sqrt{21} = (7 + 8) \sqrt{21} = 15 \sqrt{21} \]

Thus, the simplified expression is:

\[ \boxed{15 \sqrt{21}} \]
