4 stepsTo simplify the expression , we will first evaluate the square root, then perform the subtraction in base 5, and finally add the results.
Calculate the square root of 225.
Perform the subtraction in base 5.
We need to calculate .
We subtract column by column, borrowing from the left if necessary.Starting from the rightmost column:
: We cannot subtract 4 from 3. Borrow 1 from the middle digit (2). The borrowed 1 in base 5 is equivalent to 5. So, .
. The rightmost digit is 4.Moving to the middle column:
The middle digit was 2, but we borrowed 1, so it becomes 1.
: We cannot subtract 4 from 1. Borrow 1 from the leftmost digit (4). The borrowed 1 in base 5 is equivalent to 5. So, .
. The middle digit is 2.Moving to the leftmost column:
The leftmost digit was 4, but we borrowed 1, so it becomes 3.
. The leftmost digit is 1.So, .
Convert the base 5 result to base 10.
To add the results, we need them in the same base. We will convert to base 10.
Add the results from Step 1 and Step 3.
The simplified expression is 54.
