a) \(3\sqrt{2x}-4\sqrt{2x}+8-2\sqrt{x}\)
\(=-\left(4\sqrt{2x}-3\sqrt{2x}\right)+8-2\sqrt{x}\)
\(=-\sqrt{2x}-2\sqrt{x}+8\)
b) \(3\sqrt{2x}-\sqrt{72x}+3\sqrt{18x}+18\)
\(=3\sqrt{2x}-6\sqrt{2x}+3\cdot3\sqrt{2x}+18\)
\(=3\sqrt{2x}-6\sqrt{2x}+9\sqrt{2x}+18\)
\(=\left(3+9-6\right)\sqrt{2x}+18\)
\(=6\sqrt{2x}+18\)
