Hint: \[\Large \sqrt{72} = \sqrt{36*2}\] \[\Large \sqrt{72} = \sqrt{36}*\sqrt{2}\] \[\Large \sqrt{72} = 6*\sqrt{2}\]

Simplify the other roots the same way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you do after all the roots are simplified? @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

You combine like terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[6\sqrt{2} - 7\sqrt{3} - 10\sqrt{2} + 12\sqrt{3}\]

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good, you've simplified correctly now combine like terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-4\sqrt{2} + 5\sqrt{3}\]

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

correct
