Answer 7

unless you want to write 17^(3/2), there's nothing to de here. As for the second term, there's absolutely nothing to do at all

Answer 8

or, as jhonyy9 said, you simply add like terms. you have 17 times sqrt(17) and you remove 9 of these (because it's the same term), you're left with 8 times sqrt(17)
