ASVAB Arithmetic Reasoning Operations on Radicals Practice Test 942327

Question 2 of 5
Adding & Subtracting Radicals

To add or subtract radicals, the degree and radicand must be the same. For example, \(2\sqrt{3} + 3\sqrt{3} = 5\sqrt{3}\) but \(2\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{3}\) cannot be added because they have different radicands.

What is \( 8 \)\( \sqrt{45} \) + \( 7 \)\( \sqrt{5} \)

56\( \sqrt{45} \)
56\( \sqrt{9} \)
15\( \sqrt{9} \)
31\( \sqrt{5} \)
