2Sqroot50 + 8Sqroot2.
2(sqrt{50}) + 8(sqrt{2})
sqrt{50} becomes 5(sqrt{2})
We now have 2 * 5(sqrt{2})+ 8(sqrt{2}) = 10(sqrt{2})+ 8(sqrt{2})
10(sqrt{2})+ 8(sqrt{2}) = 18(sqrt{2})

Problem:
.
Let's make the first term have the same square root as the second so we can then add the terms. Here's how to do it:
Let's take a look at the square root of 50 and square root of 2. Can we divide 50 by 2? Yes, it's 25.
Therefore, we can say =
We can further say that = .
Therefore, we can change the original expression to:

Now, does 25 have a square root? Yes, it's 5. So we get:

<--- this is our final expression.
