Hi there,

The Problem:
Simplify this expresso:


Solution:
Use the distributive property to clear the parentheses.


When multiplying radical expressions with the same index (in this case they are all *square* roots), we 
can combine the factors under the same radical sign. For example,  because 3*8=24.

Simply using the property.


We can simplify these radical expressions by factoring out any perfect square numbers. For example,
. (The square root of 9 is 3 because 3*3 = 9.)

Simplify using this property.


Hope this helps. Feel free to email me if you have questions about this solution.
