Math Problem Statement

√8+ S√2-6√2=

Solution

We can simplify the expression 8+S262\sqrt{8} + S\sqrt{2} - 6\sqrt{2}.

Step 1: Simplify 8\sqrt{8}

We know that: 8=4×2=4×2=22\sqrt{8} = \sqrt{4 \times 2} = \sqrt{4} \times \sqrt{2} = 2\sqrt{2}

Step 2: Combine Like Terms

Now, substitute 8\sqrt{8} with 222\sqrt{2}: 22+S2622\sqrt{2} + S\sqrt{2} - 6\sqrt{2}

Combine the terms involving 2\sqrt{2}: (2+S6)2(2 + S - 6)\sqrt{2} (S4)2(S - 4)\sqrt{2}

The simplified result is: (S4)2(S - 4)\sqrt{2}

This is the final simplified expression in terms of SS. If you have a specific value for SS, you can substitute it to get a numerical result.
