Math Problem Statement

3✓5 + ✓20 -✓45+✓5=

Solution

Let's simplify and solve the expression step by step:

The expression is:

35+2045+53\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{20} - \sqrt{45} + \sqrt{5}

  1. Simplify 20\sqrt{20}:

20=4×5=25\sqrt{20} = \sqrt{4 \times 5} = 2\sqrt{5}

  1. Simplify 45\sqrt{45}:

45=9×5=35\sqrt{45} = \sqrt{9 \times 5} = 3\sqrt{5}

Now, substitute the simplified values back into the expression:

35+2535+53\sqrt{5} + 2\sqrt{5} - 3\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{5}

  1. Combine like terms (all terms contain 5\sqrt{5}):

(3+23+1)5=35(3 + 2 - 3 + 1)\sqrt{5} = 3\sqrt{5}

So, the simplified expression is:

353\sqrt{5}
