Question 454514: How do you simplify this?
-5 sqrt(300)
I already did this:
-5 sqrt(25*12)
-5(5 sqrt (12))
But I don't know if that's right or, if it is right then would I split the 12 too?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
you're doing fine

yes, split the 12 also


OR ___ -5 sqrt(100 * 3) = -5[10 sqrt(3)] = ?
