Find a common factor for the roots. They seem to all be divisible by 14 right now. \[\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{14} - \sqrt{14} + \sqrt{9}*\sqrt{14}\]

OpenStudy (tgstudios):

ok.............. *not catching on* *light bulb still off*

OpenStudy (hayisforhorses):

Luckily, all the non 14s are perfect squares. This leaves you with \[2*\sqrt{14}-\sqrt{14}+3*\sqrt{14}\]

Observe \(\sqrt{14}\) cannot be simplified further, so it is likely that other terms have it as a factor (based on the options)

OpenStudy (tgstudios):

so 2 * 3 * sq rt of 14 ??

OpenStudy (hayisforhorses):

Basically, you then take 2-1+3 (for the coefficients). You are left with 4sqrt(14)

OpenStudy (hayisforhorses):

You had the right answer!

OMG IM SO MUCH SMARTER THAN I THOUGHT!!! thank you <3
