Take note that sqrt%2812%29=sqrt%284%2A3%29=sqrt%284%29%2Asqrt%283%29=2%2Asqrt%283%29. So sqrt%2812%29=2%2Asqrt%283%29


Also, notice that sqrt%2875%29=sqrt%2825%2A3%29=sqrt%2825%29%2Asqrt%283%29=5%2Asqrt%283%29. So sqrt%2875%29=5%2Asqrt%283%29


-------------------------------

This means that


So 5%2Asqrt%2812%29%2Bsqrt%2875%29=15%2Asqrt%283%29
