1. Problem Description

We are asked to simplify the expression 80x32x+8x\sqrt{80x} - \sqrt{32x} + \sqrt{8x}, assuming xx is a nonnegative real number.

2. Solution Steps

First, we simplify each term:
80x=165x=165x=45x\sqrt{80x} = \sqrt{16 \cdot 5x} = \sqrt{16} \cdot \sqrt{5x} = 4\sqrt{5x}
32x=162x=162x=42x\sqrt{32x} = \sqrt{16 \cdot 2x} = \sqrt{16} \cdot \sqrt{2x} = 4\sqrt{2x}
8x=42x=42x=22x\sqrt{8x} = \sqrt{4 \cdot 2x} = \sqrt{4} \cdot \sqrt{2x} = 2\sqrt{2x}
Now, we substitute these simplified expressions back into the original expression:
45x42x+22x4\sqrt{5x} - 4\sqrt{2x} + 2\sqrt{2x}
Combine the terms with the same radical:
45x+(4+2)2x4\sqrt{5x} + (-4+2)\sqrt{2x}
45x22x4\sqrt{5x} - 2\sqrt{2x}
The terms 45x4\sqrt{5x} and 22x-2\sqrt{2x} cannot be combined further because the terms inside the square root are different.

3. Final Answer

45x22x4\sqrt{5x} - 2\sqrt{2x}
