How would you multiply 4√3 by 4? And also, how would you ADD 4√3 and 4? Thanks!

4√3 x 4
is the same as
4√3 x 4√1
because the √1 = 1 in itself, so we're not changing the euation at all.
multiply the outside with the outside, and the inside with the inside
4(4) √(3x1)
16√3
here's another way to think about it...
4√3 times 4, how can we write 4 as a radical? √16...
4√3 x √16
4(√16 x √3)
4(4(√3)
16√3
can't add 4√3 + 4, because they are not like terms, and there is no way to get them to be like terms. that is fully simplified

You leave the √3 as it is, and multiply 4 by 4.
4√3 + 4 = 4(√3 + 1)
You factor out the 4.
