(5radicand2 + 3radicand5)(2radicand10 - 5)
-----
(5sqrt(2)+3sqrt(5))(2sqrt(10)-5)
----
= 5sqrt(2)[2sqrt(10)-5] + 3sqrt(5)[2sqrt(10)-5]
----
= 10sqrt(20)-25sqrt(2) + 6sqrt(50) - 15sqrt(5)
-----
= 10*2sqrt(5)-25sqrt(2) + 6*5sqrt(2) - 15sqrt(5)
-----
= 20sqrt(5)-15sqrt(5) - 25sqrt(2)+30sqrt(2)
----
= 5sqrt(5) + 5sqrt(2)
----
= 5[sqrt(5)+sqrt(2)]
