These problems can be solved by "distribution" just like an (x+y)(2x+2y) problem
In fact, we can use the FOIL technique here
,
( 5 +2 sqrt3 ) * ( 4 - 5 sqrt2 )
,
20 - 25 sqrt2 +8 sqrt3 -10 sqrt6,,,,,,,,,,,(sqrt3 *sqrt2 = sqrt6)
,
we should look to combine like terms,,,in this case no
,
and to remove any perfect squares due to multiplying two sq rts,,,in this case no
,
ANSWER is ,,,,, 20 - 25 sqrt 2 +8 sqrt 3 -10 sqrt 6
,
check by using calculator on original, and on answer, ok both give -26
