Simplify:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%28-50%29+-+sqrt%28-8%29\"$ Factor the radicands.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%28-2%2A25%29+-+sqrt%28-2%2A4%29\"$ Take the square roots of the perfect squares (25 and 4) and move them outside of their respective radicals.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5sqrt%28-2%29+-+2sqrt%28-2%29\"$ Combine like-terms.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3sqrt%28-2%29\"$ This can also be written as:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3sqrt%282%29%2Ai\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
