Question 309016: How would I simplify this question?
(4 / 2√3) + (1 / √5)

Let us first find the product of
(2√3) x (√5)
= 2√15
Now let us try to add
(4 / 2√3) + (1 / √5)
= (4 x √5 / 2√3 x √5) + (1 x 2√3 /√5 x 2√3)
= 4√5 / 2√15 + 2√3 / 2√15
Now that the denominators are equal we can add the numerators
= (4√5 + 2√3) / 2√15
We take out the common factor from the numerator
= 2(2√5 + √3) / 2√15
We cross out the factor 2 from the numerator and denominator
= (2√5 + √3) / √15
