Question 32911: I worked the following problem and came up with -5. I'm not sure if I am right:
(sqrt3 + 2 sqrt2)(sqrt3 - 2 sqrt2) Answer by sarah_adam(201) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You are right as the equation can be written as
according to the formula (a+b)(a-b) = (a^2 - b^2)
therfore upon solving you get 3 - 4*2 = 3 - 8 = - 5
