Add 2–8√+3–8√ .(1 point)

1 answer

The given expression is 2–8√+3–8√.

To simplify the expression, we combine like terms. The terms 2 and 3 are like terms because they both have no square root. Similarly, the terms -8√ and -8√ are like terms because they both have the square root of 8.

So we have:

2-8√+3-8√ = (2+3) + (-8√-8√)

Simplifying the terms without the square root:

= 5 + (-16√)

Now combining like terms:

= 5 - 16√

So the simplified expression is 5 - 16√.
