Sum this expression

3\sqrt{5} +4\sqrt{7} = 3\sqrt{5} +4\sqrt{7}

It can not be added, because it is same with x, y. Like 3x+4y. So it can not be added.

Sum this expression

2\sqrt{3} + 6\sqrt{11}\sqrt{3} + 13\sqrt{11} = \sqrt{3} + 19\sqrt{11}

simplify this expression

(3\sqrt{7})(2\sqrt{3} + 7\sqrt{13}) = 6\sqrt{21}+ 21\sqrt{91}

On this chapter, I learned, the number in the root is same, it can be added and subtracted. But multiplication is possible to multiple that the number in root is not same. Also I learned new words. Like index, radicand, and radical.

10\sqrt{15}  In this root, index is 10, radicand is 15, and they are called radical.
