hi can someone help me solve this using the distributive property to simplify 5√18−2√2
It would simplify to this:
13 X sqrt(2)
thank you
can you please post the solution, i don't understand, i tried working it but not getting the same answer
Here are the steps:
\(5\sqrt{18}-2\sqrt{2}\rightarrow5\sqrt{2\times9}-2\sqrt{2}\rightarrow \sqrt{2}(5\sqrt{9}-2)\rightarrow \sqrt{2}(5\times3-2)\rightarrow13\sqrt{2}\)
