Answer:
12*√(2)

Explanation:

We have the equation:


(14)/(√(2) ) + √(50)

we know that:

14*14 = 196

then:

14 = √196


(√(196) )/(√(2) ) + √(50) = √(196/2) + √(50) = √(98) + √(50)

Now, we can rewrite:

50 = 2*25

98 = 2*49

This is because we know that 49 and 25 are perfect squares, then:


√(98) + √(50) = √(2*49) +√(2*25) = √(2) *√(49) + √(2) *√(25)

Now we can use the common factor √2 and get:


√(2) *√(49) + √(2) *√(25) = √(2)*(√(49) + √(25) )

and we know that:

7*7 = 49

5*5 = 25

then:


√(2)*(√(49) + √(25) ) = √(2)*(7 + 5) = 12*√(2)

the value of b is:

b = 12
