What can √75-√108-√147 be simplified to

6 years ago

Answered By Emily H

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=53  

 $\sqrt{108}=6\sqrt{3}$108=63 

 $\sqrt{147}=7\sqrt{3}$147=73 

Now, you can collect like terms, giving you

 $\left(5-6-7\right)\sqrt{3}$(567)3 

 $=-8\sqrt{3}$=83
