Answer:
Explanation:
So you haven't provided any options, but I'm assuming they want it in most simplified form.
To do this, we simply combine like terms, and in this case you can see the
as a variable, if it makes it easier to think about why we can combine terms. So just like how we can do:
we can do the same thing here, since sqrt(2) constant and it's in each expression.
So if it makes a bit easier to represent, I'll rewrite the equation such that sqrt(2) = y
So in here, think of y as the variable and the 5x, -3, and x as the coefficients.
In doing this we can combine the terms by adding them, since they all have the same "variable" (sqrt(2))
Simplify this expression to get
Now just plug the sqrt(2) back in as y and you get the expression
Since we can't combine the 6x and -3 in any way, we we can just distribute this back into the sqrt(2)
