Math Problem Statement

Find the value of 10√5 - 4√5 - 7√5.

Solution

The problem shown in the image asks to find the value of:

105457510\sqrt{5} - 4\sqrt{5} - 7\sqrt{5}

Solution:

We can simplify this expression by factoring out the common term 5\sqrt{5}:

(1047)5(10 - 4 - 7) \sqrt{5}

First, perform the subtraction inside the parentheses:

1047=110 - 4 - 7 = -1

Thus, the expression simplifies to:

15=5-1\sqrt{5} = -\sqrt{5}

So, the correct answer is A. 5-\sqrt{5}.
