Question

How do you simplify `[sqrt x] + 5[sqrt x]`?

Answer 1

`6sqrtx`

Explanation:

Consider this example:

Suppose you had `a+5a`

This gives you a total count of a's that is 6 so we have `6a`

'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
instead of `a` we have `sqrtx`. Not that the brackets serve no purpose.

So `sqrtx+5sqrtx" " =" " 6sqrtx`
