1. Problem Description

The problem asks to simplify the expression 20125+45\sqrt{20} - \sqrt{125} + \sqrt{45}.

2. Solution Steps

First, simplify each square root individually.
20=4×5=4×5=25\sqrt{20} = \sqrt{4 \times 5} = \sqrt{4} \times \sqrt{5} = 2\sqrt{5}
125=25×5=25×5=55\sqrt{125} = \sqrt{25 \times 5} = \sqrt{25} \times \sqrt{5} = 5\sqrt{5}
45=9×5=9×5=35\sqrt{45} = \sqrt{9 \times 5} = \sqrt{9} \times \sqrt{5} = 3\sqrt{5}
Now, substitute the simplified expressions back into the original expression:
2555+352\sqrt{5} - 5\sqrt{5} + 3\sqrt{5}
Combine the terms with the same radical:
(25+3)5=(55)5=05=0(2 - 5 + 3)\sqrt{5} = (5-5)\sqrt{5} = 0\sqrt{5} = 0
