question in comments..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[5\sqrt{6x}+8\sqrt{14x}-9\sqrt{6x}+18\sqrt{14x}\]

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Same as before. Try it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

doing so now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it to be simplified? i dont understand what you need

OpenStudy (turingtest):

looks like combining like terms

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

@eigenschmeigen , yes. Simplified.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks. if he's having a go at it i'll leave it be

OpenStudy (anonymous):

/she

OpenStudy (amistre64):

isnt combining like terms just factoring out the GCF ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be \[(5+9)\sqrt{6x}-(8+18)\sqrt{14x}\]

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

You just made 1 mistake, \[(5 - 9) \sqrt{6x} + (8+18)\sqrt{18}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooh okay. now i would add the parent. right?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Perfect.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got \[(-4)\sqrt{6x}+(26)\sqrt{14x}\]

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

perfect..

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

you will write it is, \[-4\sqrt{6x} + 26 \sqrt{14x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay i got it now. thanks. thats all i have to do for these type of problems?
