Simplifying Structural Stress Formulas

A quality control analyst at a manufacturing plant is calculating the total stress load on a component. The stress from the first load point is expressed as $3\sqrt{y} and the stress from the second load point is $4\sqrt{y}. To simplify the total stress expression ($3\sqrt{y} + 4\sqrt{y}$) for a technical summary report, what single term should the analyst use?
