Question 3 of 5
Adding & Subtracting Radicals

To add or subtract radicals, the degree and radicand must be the same. For example, \(2\sqrt{3} + 3\sqrt{3} = 5\sqrt{3}\) but \(2\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{3}\) cannot be added because they have different radicands.

What is \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{48} \) + \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{3} \)

45\( \sqrt{3} \)
81\( \sqrt{3} \)
81\( \sqrt{144} \)
18\( \sqrt{144} \)
