Math Problem Statement

7/√6-√5

Solution

To simplify the expression 765\frac{7}{\sqrt{6}} - \sqrt{5}, follow these steps:

Step 1: Rationalize the first term

To simplify 76\frac{7}{\sqrt{6}}, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 6\sqrt{6}:

76×66=766\frac{7}{\sqrt{6}} \times \frac{\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{6}} = \frac{7\sqrt{6}}{6}

Step 2: Combine the terms

Now the expression becomes:

7665\frac{7\sqrt{6}}{6} - \sqrt{5}

This is the simplified form. Since 766\frac{7\sqrt{6}}{6} and 5\sqrt{5} are unlike terms, they cannot be further simplified.

Final Answer:

7665\frac{7\sqrt{6}}{6} - \sqrt{5}
