$5 \sqrt{8 x}$ $5sqrt(8x)$

As there is an addition and you can only add like terms, try to make like terms.

Find factors of $32$ $32$

$\sqrt{32 x} + 3 \sqrt{8 x}$ $sqrt(32x) +3sqrt(8x)$

$= \sqrt{4 \times 8 x} + 3 \sqrt{8 x} \leftarrow$ $= sqrt(4xx8x) + 3sqrt(8x)" "larr$ 4 is a square - find the root

= $2 \sqrt{8 x} + 3 \sqrt{8 x}$ $2sqrt(8x) +3sqrt(8x)$

$= 5 \sqrt{8 x}$ $= 5sqrt(8x)$
