Answer:

9[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of radicals

[tex]\sqrt{a}[/tex] × [tex]\sqrt{b}[/tex] ⇔ [tex]\sqrt{ab}[/tex]

Simplify each radical before summing

[tex]\sqrt{8}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{4(2)}[/tex] = 2[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]

3[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] is in simplified form

[tex]\sqrt{32}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{16(2)}[/tex] = 4[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Hence

2[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] + 3[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] + 4[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] = 9[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]
