Question

How do you simplify √3 + 4√3?

Answer 1

`5sqrt3`

Explanation:

I like to think of radicals like 'x'. So instead of `sqrt3`, I imagine the equation to be `x+4x`.

That is pretty much the hardest part. With that, just add them together, leaving `sqrt3` how it is.

`sqrt3+4sqrt3`

`=5sqrt3`
