Answer:


5√(3)

Explanation:

simplify sqrt(12):
√(12) = √(4 * 3) = √(4) * √(3) = 2 * √(3) = 2√(3)

simplify sqrt(27):
√(27) = √(9 * 3) = √(9) * √(3) = 3 * √(3) = 3√(3)

substitute into original equation:
√(12) + √(27) = 2√(3) + 3√(3)

factor out sqrt(3):
√(3) * (2 + 3)

simplify:
√(3) * 5 = 5√(3)
