ANY ONE WANNA HELP √10 - 4√10 A. 5√10 B. -3 √10 C. -3 √20 D. 5√20 i think the answer is D

OpenStudy (matt101):

Pretend that √10 is an x. What's x-4x?

geerky42 (geerky42):

Or you can factor \(\sqrt{10}\) out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (matt101):

Exactly what I wrote above - what's x-4x?

OpenStudy (matt101):

What's 1-4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

- 3

OpenStudy (matt101):

Right! So what's 1x-4x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3x

OpenStudy (matt101):

Right! And we said x is √10, so instead of -3x you have...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the answer -3 √10

OpenStudy (matt101):
