When working in square roots, each component can be treated separately.

Now, we can simplify each term.



Combine the simplified terms to find the answer. Anything outside of the square root is combined, while anything under the root is combined under the root.

To solve this equation, we have to factor our radicals. We do this by finding numbers that multiply to give us the number within the radical.


Add them together:

4 is a perfect square, so we can find the root:


Since both have the same radical, we can combine them:
