Full solution

Q. Subtract. Write your answer in simplest form.\newline422-4\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{2}
  1. Identify coefficients: 422-4 \sqrt{2} - \sqrt{2}\newlineIdentify the expression that combines the coefficients.\newline422=(41)2-4 \sqrt{2} - \sqrt{2} = (-4 - 1) \sqrt{2}
  2. Combine coefficients: Simplify: (41)2(-4 - 1) \sqrt{2}\newline(41)2=52(-4 - 1) \sqrt{2} = -5 \sqrt{2}\newlineThis is the simplest form.
