Answer 9

\[(5/2)-\sqrt{5}\]
lcd=2
\[2*\sqrt{5}=2\sqrt{5}\]
so
\[(5-2\sqrt{5})/2\]

Answer 10

why do you subtract -sqrt5 from 5/2?

Answer 11

Ajmal's right.

Answer 12

bcz that is given in the equation!

Answer 13

im lost :/ the equation says sqrt5 - 5/2 not 5/2- sqrt5

Answer 14

we both r wrong saif
i thought the question is (5/2)-sqrt5
but the question is sqrt5-(5/2)

lcd=2
\[2*\sqrt{5}=2\sqrt{5}\]
so
\[(2\sqrt{5}-5)/2\]

Answer 15

No, wait.
