GIVEN:

We are given the following radical expression;


9√(3)+2√(3)+√(3)

Required;

To simplify the expression given;

Step-by-step solution;

We note here that the addition will only affect the "coefficients" of the radicals. The coefficients are;


9,2\text{ }and\text{ }1

The coefficient of the third radical is 1. Since all three radicals are the same value, we simply add up the coefficients and we now have;


9+2+1(√(3))=12√(3)

ANSWER:


12√(3)
