#

Distributing might be a good first step

brisk iron
#

ik how like radicals and stuff work

#

but like

#

havent done a question like that

#

so it would be

#

(√5 * 2√5) (3√3 * -4√2)

opaque turtle
#

It would not be that

#

Nor sure where all the extra multiplications came from

brisk iron
#

oh yea

#

😅

#

wait so should it be

#

(√5 * 2√5 + √5 * -4√2) (2√5 * 3√3 2√5*-4√2)

#

You're kinda getting it, but still off the mark

brisk iron
#

the signs?

opaque turtle
#

You need to recall your distributive law

brisk iron
#
