Full solution

Q. Add. Write your answer in simplest form.\newline85+25-8\sqrt{5} + 2\sqrt{5}
  1. Combine like terms: Combine the like terms 85-8 \sqrt{5} and 252 \sqrt{5}.\newlineIdentify the like terms and combine their coefficients.\newline85+25=(8+2)5-8 \sqrt{5} + 2 \sqrt{5} = (-8 + 2) \sqrt{5}
  2. Simplify expression: Simplify the expression (8+2)5(-8 + 2) \sqrt{5}. Perform the addition within the parentheses. (8+2)5=(6)5(-8 + 2) \sqrt{5} = (-6) \sqrt{5}
  3. Write final answer: Write the final answer in simplest form.\newlineSince there are no further simplifications, the expression is already in its simplest form.\newline65-6 \sqrt{5}
