simplify by combining like terms:

x sqrt(18) - 3 sqrt(8x)sqrd

If <sqrt(8x)sqrd> means [sqrt(8x)]^2, then that also equals 8x. So
x sqrt(18) - 3 sqrt(8x)sqrd
= x[sqrt(9*2)-3*8]
= 3x(sqrt 2 -3

How do you find a square root of a number that's not a perfect square? I'm very confused. The book doesn't explain it too well. You can approximate it or simplify it in terms of (products of) square roots of smaller numbers. E.g.
