You break the root numbers into two factors, one of which is the largest perfect square factor. Then do that square root and if there is one, multiply by the number in front. Then if the remaining roots are of the same number, you can combine by adding the numbers in front.

3√98 = 3 √49√2 = 3•7√2 = 21√2
√32 = √16√2 = 4√2
then they add to be 25√2
First, figure out what numbers multiplied will give you 98. Make sure one of them is a perfect square. I would go with 2 and 49.
49 <====Perfect square. The square root of 49 is 7.
Now multiple 7 and 3 and you get 21. Which means you get 21â2 .
Now for â32
Two numbers that would go for that is 16 and 2. 16 is a perfect square. The square root of 16 is 4. Now you get 4â2
21â2 + 4â2= 25â2
Hope that helped.
98+32+3= 133
