first factor out 32x to get 2*2*2*2*2*x now simplify to 4 the square root of 2x, then keep the 2x the same. factor out 18 to get 2*3*3*x. simplify to get 3 the square root of 2x no since the all are like terms just add 8+1-3 and then you get 6 now place the 6 in front of the square root of 2x and you get 6 the square root of 2x!

[Treat each radical as a term. You can add and subtract like-radicals the same as you would add and subtract like-terms]
.
[So, try to make the radical terms match]
[Simplify]
[Since the radicals are now "like-terms" (sqrt(2x)), you can add the coefficients of each radical]
.
[Add the coefficients: 4+1-3=2]
