we have to try to get both terms to be in the same form
i.e. if we factorise 50 we get factor pairs of
1 and 50
2 and 25
5 and 10
so we can write as
this is useful because it contains a square number, 25, and also which is also in the term
so now we have

we can now take the square root of 25 out of the square root sign giving

adding these together gives the solution that you already knew
