you can't solve it unless its ===equal=== to something. All you can do is simplify.

The expression is $35 - 5x + 18x^2 + 24x$. Add the like terms together and you get $18x^2 + 19x + 35$.

$$(35-5x)+(18x \sqrt{2}+24x)$$ Well you can start by collecting like terms. See in that second set of parentheses you have 18*sqrt(2) amount of x and 24 amount of x. So you can just add the two together.

For example, 2x+3x=5x, right? Just do the same thing here for that second part.

Since it's all addition and subtraction here, the parentheses are meaningless, so collect that -5x term with the rest just like I showed you and you will have something that looks like ax+b

When you say root two, did you mean power of 2? I might have misinterpreted that.

sorry I meant power of two I wrote it wrong
