Similar radicalssuch as ... 5(sq root 7) + 3(sq root 7)
are similar because the radical has the same root index and the same number inside the radical. Like variables they can have different coefficients. 2x and 5x are similar ( called like terms) add the coefficients.
2x + 5x = 7x similarly
5(sq root 7) + 3(sq root 7) = 8(sq root 7)

To add or subtract radical fractions, you need to have the same radical term in the numerator and denominator. Find a common denominator and then combine the numerators (if adding) or subtract the numerators (if subtracting) while keeping the common denominator. Simplify the resulting fraction, if possible.
