Answer

$6x^3y^2\sqrt[]{xy}$

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of radicals, then, \begin{array}{l} \sqrt[]{4x^7y^5}+9x^2\sqrt[]{x^3y^5}-5xy\sqrt[]{x^5y^3} \\= \sqrt[]{4x^6y^4\cdot xy}+9x^2\sqrt[]{x^2y^4\cdot xy}-5xy\sqrt[]{x^4y^2\cdot xy} \\= 2x^3y^2\sqrt[]{xy}+9x^2\cdot xy^2\sqrt[]{xy}-5xy\cdot x^2y\sqrt[]{xy} \\= 2x^3y^2\sqrt[]{xy}+9x^3y^2\sqrt[]{xy}-5x^3y^2\sqrt[]{xy} \\= 6x^3y^2\sqrt[]{xy} .\end{array}
