SOLUTION: I need to simplify 3/2+sqrt 10. I multiplied the top and bottom by the bottom part resulting in 3(2- sqrt10)/4-2sqrt10+2sqrt10-sqrt100. That further Simplifies to 6-3sqrt10

Question 965039: I need to simplify 3/2+sqrt 10.
I multiplied the top and bottom by the bottom part resulting in
3(2- sqrt10)/4-2sqrt10+2sqrt10-sqrt100. That further
Simplifies to 6-3sqrt10/4-10 which simplifies further to
6-3sqrt10/-6.
The answer I'm suppose to get is -1/2(2-sqrt10)

3/2+sqrt 10=
Multiply numerator and denominator with (2-sqrt 10)
(3x(2-sqrt 10))/((2+sqrt 10)(2-sqrt 10))
=(3x(2-sqrt 10))/(-6)
=(2-sqrt 10)/(-2)
