Technical Protocol for Subtracting Like Radicals

In a manufacturing quality control report, a technician records a net vibration variance using the expression 22722\sqrt{2} - 7\sqrt{2}. Based on the standard mathematical protocols for workplace measurements, describe the specific rule used to simplify this expression. In your response, explain why these two terms are allowed to be combined, show the specific arithmetic performed on the numerical coefficients, and state the final simplified value of the expression.
