Question 112412: Perform the indicated operations:
√[50] + 2√[32] – √[8]

To simplify:
sqrt(50) + 2 sqrt(32) - sqrt(8)
= sqrt(25 * 2) + 2 sqrt(16 * 2) - sqrt(4 * 2)
= sqrt(25)*sqrt(2) + 2 sqrt(16)*sqrt(2) - sqrt(4)*sqrt(2)
= 5 sqrt(2) + 2*4 sqrt(2) - 2 sqrt(2)
= sqrt(2) [ 5 + 8 - 2]
= sqrt(2) [11]
= 11 sqrt(2)

Good Luck!!!
