OpenStudy (poohbear):

Oh, I didn't know those were the choices. :P But it should be be 5√2 - 2√3.

\[\sqrt{12}=\sqrt{4}\sqrt{3}=2\sqrt{3}\]\[\sqrt{50}=\sqrt{25}\sqrt{2}=5\sqrt{2}\]\[\- sqrt{48}=-\sqrt{16}\sqrt{3}=-4\sqrt{3}\]

OpenStudy (radar):

Combining similar radicands getting:\[5\sqrt{2}-2\sqrt{3}\]
