Answer

$(6\sqrt {y}-12x-25x)x\sqrt { 3xy}$.

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $=6x\sqrt {3xy^2}-4x^2\sqrt {27xy}-5\sqrt {75x^5y}$ Factor the radicands into square terms. $=6x\sqrt {3xy^2}-4x^2\sqrt {3^2\cdot 3xy}-5\sqrt {5^2 \cdot 3 x^4xy}$ Simplify. $=6x\cdot \sqrt {3xy}\cdot \sqrt {y}-4x^2\cdot 3\sqrt { 3xy}-5\cdot 5x^2\sqrt { 3 xy}$ $=6\sqrt {y}\cdot x\sqrt { 3xy}-12x^2\sqrt {3xy}-25x^2\sqrt {3 xy}$. By using the distributive property. $=(6\sqrt {y}-12x-25x)x\sqrt { 3xy}$.
