Oh okay I got it, I just looked at the link you posted where someone asked this question before already, thanks!

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Simplifying a radical expression means, among other things, not having radicals in the denominator. (a + b)(a - b) = a^2 - b^2 When you have the sum of two radicals and you multiply it by the difference of the same radicals, you get rid of the radicals.
