Hi,

simplifying  Note: the idea is to put as like terms and then combine the like terms

7%2A+sqrt+%2812x%29+-+4%2A+sqrt+%2827x%29+%2B+sqrt+%28108x%29

7%2A+sqrt+%284%2A3x%29+-+4%2A+sqrt+%289%2A3x%29+%2B+sqrt+%2836%2A3x%29

2%2A7%2A+sqrt+%283x%29+-+3%2A4%2A+sqrt+%283x%29+%2B+6%2Asqrt+%283x%29

highlight%288%2A+sqrt+%283x%29%29+
