    3(sqrt((5/(3x4))) + sqrt(21/5) - 1/3 x sqrt (2 x 2 x 15)=

    (3sqrt(5/3))/2 + sqrt(21/5) -1/3 x 2 x sqrt (15)=

    3/2(sqrt(5/3)) + sqrt (21/5) -2/3 x sqrt (15)

    is the first term...

    3√(5/12) or (3√5)/12

    is that last term...

    – (1/3) √60 ... as in -√60/3

    or - 1/(3√60)

    it makes a difference on the final answer which these two are.

    assuming for the easiest:

    (3√5)/12 +(√21)/5 –(√60)/3

    common factor for the denominators (12, 5, and 3) is 60

    putting this into a common form:

    5(3√5)/60 +12(√21)/60 –20(√60)/60

    simplifies down to:

    [5(3√5) +12(√21) –20(√60)] / 60

    [ 15√5 +12√(3.7) –20√(2.2.5)] / 60

    [ 15√5 +12√(3.7) –40√(5)] / 60

    [ 15√5 –40√(5) +12√(3.7)] / 60

    [ -25√(5) +12√(3.7)] / 60

    ANS: (12√21 -25√5) / 60 ... this could be re-written as (√21)/5 - (5√5)/12

  • √3 *√(3*5/12)+√3*√(3/7) -√3√(60/9)

    √3(5/4+3/7-20/3)

    √3(-419/84)
