\[? + 2\sqrt{5}\]

OpenStudy (yttrium):

Apply distribution. Like (a+b) (c+d) = ac + ad + bc + bd

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, \[(\sqrt{5} \times \sqrt{5})+(\sqrt{5} \times 2)+(4 \times \sqrt{5})+(4 \times 2)\] ?

OpenStudy (yttrium):

Check your signs.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(\sqrt{5} \times \sqrt{5})+(\sqrt{5} \times 2)+(4 \times \sqrt{5})+(4 \times -2)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

negative two :3

OpenStudy (yttrium):

Check your sign again.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol ok haha i see :) \[(\sqrt{5} \times \sqrt{5})+(\sqrt{5} \times -2)+(4 \times \sqrt{5})+(4 \times -2)\]

OpenStudy (yttrium):

Simplify it now. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait.. how do I do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, I am still learning this subject :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all I know is -8 in the last set of parentheses. How do I times a square root to anything?

OpenStudy (yttrium):

It's 5 + -2sqrt5 + 4 sqrt 5 - 8 which is equal to -3+ 2 sqrt5 sorry but i have to go

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok :) thanks for your help :)
