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