Answer:
[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] and 4[tex]\sqrt{11}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To simplify like surds, add/ subtract the coefficients.
(a)
[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] (6 - 5)
= [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] (1)
= [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]
(b)
[tex]\sqrt{11}[/tex] ( 1 + 3)
= [tex]\sqrt{11}[/tex] (4)
= 4[tex]\sqrt{11}[/tex]
