Simplify the following addition of radicals expression

OpenStudy (ledah):

\[\sqrt{25x}+\sqrt{25y}+\sqrt{16x}\]

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

\[\Large \sqrt{25x} = \sqrt{25}\sqrt{x}\] \[\Large \sqrt{25x} = 5\sqrt{x}\] Do the same with the other terms. Then combine like terms.

OpenStudy (ledah):

Would the other one look like this? \[5\sqrt{y}\]

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes, what about the last one?

OpenStudy (ledah):

Not quite sure. I believe it would look like this. \[9\sqrt{x}\] \[5\sqrt{y}\]

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Good, so the final answer is \[\Large 9\sqrt{x}+5\sqrt{y}\]
