Simplify:
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%2816x%2B32%29+%2B+sqrt%284x%2B8%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Factor out 16 and 4 inside the radicals and you have:
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%2816%28x%2B2%29%29+%2B+sqrt%284%28x%2B2%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "16 and 4 are both perfect squares so extract those from the radicals:
\n" ); document.write( "\"4sqrt%28x%2B2%29+%2B+2sqrt%28x%2B2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Both radical have like terms so just add them:
\n" ); document.write( "\"6sqrt%28x%2B2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
