You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Given: -sqrt%2848%29
48 can be factored: 2*2*2*2*3
Separate you factor into groups of 2
(2*2)*(2*2)*3
Everytime that you have two of the same number under the radical it can be taken to the outside.
Rewrite the equation: 2+%2A+2+%2A+-1sqrt%283%29
Simplify
-4sqrt%283%29
