Math Problem Statement

5 square root 75 + square root 27 - square root 50

Solution

Let's break this down step by step:

Expression:

575+27505 \sqrt{75} + \sqrt{27} - \sqrt{50}

We begin by simplifying each square root term:

  1. Simplifying 75\sqrt{75}:

75=25×3=25×3=53\sqrt{75} = \sqrt{25 \times 3} = \sqrt{25} \times \sqrt{3} = 5\sqrt{3}

Thus, 575=5×53=2535 \sqrt{75} = 5 \times 5\sqrt{3} = 25\sqrt{3}.

  1. Simplifying 27\sqrt{27}:

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

  1. Simplifying 50\sqrt{50}:

50=25×2=25×2=52\sqrt{50} = \sqrt{25 \times 2} = \sqrt{25} \times \sqrt{2} = 5\sqrt{2}

Now, substitute these simplified values back into the original expression:

253+335225 \sqrt{3} + 3 \sqrt{3} - 5 \sqrt{2}

Combine like terms:

(253+33)=283(25 \sqrt{3} + 3 \sqrt{3}) = 28 \sqrt{3}

So, the expression becomes:

2835228 \sqrt{3} - 5 \sqrt{2}

Final Simplified Expression:

2835228 \sqrt{3} - 5 \sqrt{2}

This is the simplest form of the given expression.
