question
express in simplest radical form.
$-8\sqrt{10} - 6\sqrt{10}$

Explanation:

Step1: Identify like radicals

Both terms have \(\sqrt{10}\), so we can combine the coefficients.
\(-8\sqrt{10}-6\sqrt{10}=(-8 - 6)\sqrt{10}\)

Step2: Calculate the coefficient

\(-8-6=-14\), so the expression becomes \(-14\sqrt{10}\)

Answer:

\(-14\sqrt{10}\)
