Math Problem Statement

Simplify the expression: \(\frac{5\sqrt{2} + 3\sqrt{27}}{-\sqrt{2} - 4\sqrt{27}}\).

Solution

The expression in the image is:

52+3272427\frac{5\sqrt{2} + 3\sqrt{27}}{-\sqrt{2} - 4\sqrt{27}}

Let’s break it down step by step.

Step 1: Simplify the square roots

  • 27=9×3=33\sqrt{27} = \sqrt{9 \times 3} = 3\sqrt{3}.

So the expression becomes: 52+3(33)24(33)\frac{5\sqrt{2} + 3(3\sqrt{3})}{-\sqrt{2} - 4(3\sqrt{3})} =52+932123.= \frac{5\sqrt{2} + 9\sqrt{3}}{-\sqrt{2} - 12\sqrt{3}}.

Step 2: This is the final simplified expression:

52+932123.\frac{5\sqrt{2} + 9\sqrt{3}}{-\sqrt{2} - 12\sqrt{3}}.

Would you like to proceed with any further operations, such as rationalizing the denominator or evaluating numerically?
