first, you group the numbers which have the same radicals: 2a+a+3b+5b Then, you add the same radical numbers: 3a+8b you keep adding till you can't add numbers anymore P.S. a = 1a P.S. you can't add numbers with different radicals Hope this helps :D

To simplify 2 a + 3 b + a + 5 b , first combine like terms. The terms with a add up to 3 a , and the terms with b add up to 8 b . Therefore, the final simplified expression is 3 a + 8 b .
