A perfect square must be hidden within all of those radicands in order to simplify them down to what the answer is. 
. 
. 
. The rules for adding radicals is that the index has to be the same (all of our indexes are 2 since we have square roots), and the radicands have to be the same. In other words, we cannot add the square root of 4 to the square root of 5. They either both have to be 4 or they both have to be 5. So here's what we have thus far: 
. We can add 
and 
to get
