* Write an expression that simplifies to 5. Use the multiplication, division, addition, and at least

one set of parenthesis. Explain the process you would use to simplify the expression.

. Simplify the following expressions points)

a. sqrt(20) + sqrt(5)
b. (6 + sqrt(18))/6
c. sqrt(9y^4x^0.5)^0.5

To write an expression that simplifies to 5 using multiplication, division, addition, and at least one set of parentheses, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Choose two numbers to multiply, for example, 10 and 2.
Step 2: Place the multiplication expression in parentheses, like this: (10 * 2).
Step 3: Add another number, for example, 30, to the result of the multiplication: (10 * 2) + 30.
Step 4: Divide the previous result by 8: ((10 * 2) + 30) / 8.
Step 5: Finally, simplify the expression: ((20) + 30) / 8 = 50 / 8 = 6.25.

At this point, we have simplified the expression to 6.25, but we want to get a result of 5. To do that, we need to subtract a suitable amount from the expression. Let's subtract 1.25:

Step 6: Subtract 1.25 from the previous result: 6.25 - 1.25 = 5.

So the final expression that simplifies to 5 is: ((10 * 2) + 30) / 8 - 1.25 = 5.
