To determine

To find: the sum of the expression.

Answer to Problem 2P

The sum of the expression is $9\sqrt{3}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The expression is $8\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{3}$ .

Calculation: to find the sum of the expression, first take the common and then add and simplify,

  $\begin{array}{l}8\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{3}=\sqrt{3}\left(8+1\right)\text{ [take common ]}\\ 8\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{3}=9\sqrt{3}\text{ [add]}\end{array}$

Thus, The sum of the expression is $9\sqrt{3}$ .
