Answer

$2\sqrt{2x}$

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of radicals, the given expression, $ \sqrt{32x}+\sqrt{2x}-\sqrt{18x} ,$ simplifies to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \sqrt{16\cdot2x}+\sqrt{2x}-\sqrt{9\cdot2x} \\\\= \sqrt{(4)^2\cdot2x}+\sqrt{2x}-\sqrt{(3)^2\cdot2x} \\\\= 4\sqrt{2x}+\sqrt{2x}-3\sqrt{2x} \\\\= (4+1-3)\sqrt{2x} \\\\= 2\sqrt{2x} .\end{array}
