Answer

The answer is $29|x| \sqrt {5}$ .

Work Step by Step

Taking the required square factors outside the square root and adding the terms: $2 \sqrt {20x^{2}}+5\sqrt {125x^2} =2\sqrt {(2^2).5.x^2 }+5\sqrt {5^2.5.x^2}$ $=2(2)|x|\sqrt {5}+25|x|\sqrt {5}$ $=4|x|\sqrt {5}+25|x|\sqrt {5}$ $=29|x|\sqrt {5}$
