-\sqrt{2}(5 + \sqrt{3})

Distribute $-\sqrt{2}$ : Distribute $-\sqrt{2}$ to both terms inside the parentheses. $-\sqrt{2}(5 + \sqrt{3}) = -\sqrt{2}\cdot 5 - \sqrt{2}\cdot \sqrt{3}$
Multiply $-\sqrt{2}$ by $5$ : Multiply $-\sqrt{2}$ by $5$ . $\newline$ $-\sqrt{2} \times 5 = -5\sqrt{2}$
Multiply $-\sqrt{2}$ by $\sqrt{3}$ : Multiply $-\sqrt{2}$ by $\sqrt{3}$ . $\newline$ $-\sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{3} = -\sqrt{2 \times 3} = -\sqrt{6}$
Combine results: Combine the results from Step $2$ and Step $3$ . $\newline$ $-5\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{6}$
