The equation can be written as -%285%2Asqrt%286%29%29%2Fsqrt%283%29. Because we can rewrite sqrt%286%29 as sqrt%282%2A3%29, we get -%285%2Asqrt%282%2A3%29%29%2Fsqrt%283%29. further simplification results in -%285%2Asqrt%282%29%2Asqrt%283%29%29%2Fsqrt%283%29, and that simplifies to -5%2Asqrt%282%29.
