What can √75-√108-√147 be simplified to
7 years ago
To solve this problem, you should begin by factoring the values under each root sign:
75 = 3(25)
108 = 3(36)
147 = 3(49)
From this, you can take the factors which are perfect squares out from under the root sign, which will give you the following:
$\sqrt{75}=5\sqrt{3}$√75=5√3
$\sqrt{108}=6\sqrt{3}$√108=6√3
$\sqrt{147}=7\sqrt{3}$√147=7√3
Now, you can collect like terms, giving you
$\left(5-6-7\right)\sqrt{3}$(5−6−7)√3
$=-8\sqrt{3}$=−8√3
