Math Problem Statement

7√7 + 2√7 - 5√7 - 3

Solution

The given expression is:

77+275737\sqrt{7} + 2\sqrt{7} - 5\sqrt{7} - 3

Let's simplify this step-by-step:

  1. Combine like terms involving 7\sqrt{7}: (7+25)7(7 + 2 - 5)\sqrt{7} Simplify the coefficients: 474\sqrt{7}

  2. Now include the 3-3: 4734\sqrt{7} - 3

So, the simplified answer is:

4734\sqrt{7} - 3
