Auditing the Radical Simplification Process
Identify the specific perfect square factors extracted from 18 and 8 during the first step of simplification. Additionally, state the two intermediate coefficients that result from multiplying the original coefficients by the extracted integers, and name the mathematical property that allows this consolidation.
