1. Problem Description

We are asked to multiply and simplify the expression (65)(3+5)(6 - \sqrt{5})(3 + \sqrt{5}).

2. Solution Steps

We can use the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method) to expand the expression.
(a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd(a + b)(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd
Applying this to our problem:
(65)(3+5)=6(3)+6(5)5(3)5(5)(6 - \sqrt{5})(3 + \sqrt{5}) = 6(3) + 6(\sqrt{5}) - \sqrt{5}(3) - \sqrt{5}(\sqrt{5})
Now, we can simplify each term:
6(3)=186(3) = 18
6(5)=656(\sqrt{5}) = 6\sqrt{5}
5(3)=35-\sqrt{5}(3) = -3\sqrt{5}
5(5)=5-\sqrt{5}(\sqrt{5}) = -5
So, we have:
18+6535518 + 6\sqrt{5} - 3\sqrt{5} - 5
Combine the constant terms and the terms with 5\sqrt{5}:
(185)+(6535)=13+35(18 - 5) + (6\sqrt{5} - 3\sqrt{5}) = 13 + 3\sqrt{5}

3. Final Answer

13+3513 + 3\sqrt{5}
