SOMEONE SMART 15 POINTS

I have to get rid of the radical in the denominator of a fraction. I need someone to check my answer and tell me if I did it right or wrong. I don't want the answer if I got it wrong, i'd just like to know what i did wrong.

√3(5 - √2) = 5√3 - √6 (expand by using distributive property)
