maybe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 6 }{ \sqrt{7}-\sqrt{5} }\] do you multiply the bottom

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you multiply both the top and bottom by \[\Large \sqrt{7} + \sqrt{5}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

42 and 30 then

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you can't multiply the 6 (outside the square root) by either the 7 or 5 (both in their own square roots) like that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so \[6\sqrt{35}\]

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

multiply 6 by \[\Large \sqrt{7} + \sqrt{5}\] to get \[\Large 6(\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{5}) = 6\sqrt{7} + 6\sqrt{5}\] and that's all really you can do (for the numerator)
