You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"sqrt%288%29+%2B+sqrt%2818%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "this is not an equation (no equal sign), it's an expression we can simplify
\n" ); document.write( "Factor inside the radical to reveal perfect squares
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%284%2A2%29+%2B+sqrt%289%2A2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Extract the square root of these squares
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2Asqrt%282%29+%2B+3%2Asqrt%282%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "these are like terms, so we can add them
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5%2Asqrt%282%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
