Answer

$5\sqrt{ 15}$

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $=(\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{48})(\sqrt{20}-\sqrt{5})$ Factor as square terms. $=(\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{16\cdot 3})(\sqrt{4\cdot 5}-\sqrt{5})$ Use product property of square roots. $=(\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{16}\cdot \sqrt{3})(\sqrt{4}\cdot \sqrt{5}-\sqrt{5})$ Simplify. $=(\sqrt{3}+4\cdot \sqrt{3})(2\cdot \sqrt{5}-\sqrt{5})$ Factor out $\sqrt{3}$ and $\sqrt{5}$. $=\sqrt{3}\sqrt{5}(1+4)(2-1)$ Simplify. $=\sqrt{3}\sqrt{5}(5)(1)$ Use product property of square roots. $=5\sqrt{3\cdot 5}$ $=5\sqrt{ 15}$
