Step-by-step solution

3 steps

Here's how to solve the expression:

−43−23+53-4\sqrt{3} - 2\sqrt{3} + 5\sqrt{3}
  1. Identify that all terms have the same radical, 3\sqrt{3}.

    This means they are like terms and can be combined by adding or subtracting their coefficients.

    (−4−2+5)3(-4 - 2 + 5)\sqrt{3}
  2. Perform the addition and subtraction of the coefficients.

    (−6+5)3(-6 + 5)\sqrt{3} (−1)3(-1)\sqrt{3}
  3. Simplify the expression.

    −3-\sqrt{3}
