Full solution

Q. Subtract. Write your answer in simplest form.\newline4595-4\sqrt{5} - 9\sqrt{5}
  1. Combine Like Terms: Combine the like terms 45-4\sqrt{5} and 95-9\sqrt{5}. Since both terms have the same radical part, 5\sqrt{5}, we can combine them by adding their coefficients. 4595=(49)5-4\sqrt{5} - 9\sqrt{5} = (-4 - 9)\sqrt{5}
  2. Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression (49)5(-4 - 9)\sqrt{5}.\newlineCalculate the sum of the coefficients 4-4 and 9-9.\newline(49)=13(-4 - 9) = -13\newlineSo, the expression becomes 135-13\sqrt{5}.
  3. Final Answer: Write the final answer in simplest form.\newlineThe expression 135-13\sqrt{5} is already in its simplest form, as the radical cannot be simplified further and the coefficient is an integer.
