  • Given: Simplify 5√5(√2+√6).
 
  • Solution
 
    •  Apply the distributive property to get:
 
          5√5√2 + 5√5√6
    • The product of two roots with the same index is equal to the root of the product. Therefore;
   
         5√5√2 + 5√5√6 =  5√5*2 + 5√5*6 = 5√10 + 5√30
 
  • Answer:  5√10 + 5√30
