This is of the form $(a + b) (a - b)$ $(a+b)(a-b)$ with $a = 5$ $a=5$ and $b = \sqrt{3}$ $b=sqrt(3)$

$(a + b) (a - b) = a^{2} - b^{2}$ $(a+b)(a-b) = a^2-b^2$

So

$(5 + \sqrt{3}) (5 - \sqrt{3}) = 5^{2} - {(\sqrt{3})}^{2} = 25 - 3 = 22$ $(5+sqrt(3))(5-sqrt(3)) = 5^2-(sqrt(3))^2 = 25 - 3 = 22$

How do you simplify (5+sqrt3)(5-sqrt3)(5+√3)(5−√3)(5+sqrt3)(5-sqrt3)?
