Square root help, please!?
Here's the problem, could you walk me through step by step?
Original problem
7√50-3√2
Then I got...
7√25√2-3√3
Then
12√2-3√2
Am I doing it right? And, where do I go from here?
thanks for your help!

You got the first step right (the separation of the square root).
After that step you added the leftover 5 to the 7, but instead it should be multiplied by the seven for 35.
Then, since the two "base" square roots are the same (square root 2, I can't make the square root sign on my computer) you can subtract 3 from 35.
Your answer would be the number you get from (35-3) in front of square root 2.
