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 \( 3 \)\( \sqrt{50} \) - \( 5 \)\( \sqrt{2} \)

-2\( \sqrt{100} \)
10\( \sqrt{2} \)
-2\( \sqrt{25} \)
15\( \sqrt{100} \)
