%285%2Asqrt%287%29-15%2Asqrt%285%29%29%284%2Asqrt%287%29-12%2Asqrt%285%29%29 Start with the given expression.


Now let's FOIL the expression.


Remember, when you FOIL an expression, you follow this procedure:


Multiply the First terms:.


Multiply the Outer terms:%285%2Asqrt%287%29%29%2A%28-12%2Asqrt%285%29%29=-5%2A12%2Asqrt%287%2A5%29=-60%2Asqrt%2835%29.


Multiply the Inner terms:%28-15%2Asqrt%285%29%29%2A%284%2Asqrt%287%29%29=-15%2A4%2Asqrt%285%2A7%29=-60%2Asqrt%2835%29.


Multiply the Last terms:.


---------------------------------------------------
So we have the terms: 140, -60%2Asqrt%2835%29, -60%2Asqrt%2835%29, and 900


140-60%2Asqrt%2835%29-60%2Asqrt%2835%29%2B900 Now add every term listed above to make a single expression.


1040-120%2Asqrt%2835%29 Combine like terms.


So %285%2Asqrt%287%29-15%2Asqrt%285%29%29%284%2Asqrt%287%29-12%2Asqrt%285%29%29 FOILs to 1040-120%2Asqrt%2835%29.


In other words, .
