$5 + 10 \sqrt{3} + 2 \sqrt{3} + 4 \sqrt{3} \sqrt{3}$

Raise $\sqrt{3}$ to the power of $1$ .

$5 + 10 \sqrt{3} + 2 \sqrt{3} + 4 ({\sqrt{3}}^{1} \sqrt{3})$

Raise $\sqrt{3}$ to the power of $1$ .

$5 + 10 \sqrt{3} + 2 \sqrt{3} + 4 ({\sqrt{3}}^{1} {\sqrt{3}}^{1})$

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$5 + 10 \sqrt{3} + 2 \sqrt{3} + 4 {\sqrt{3}}^{1 + 1}$

Add $1$ and $1$ .

$5 + 10 \sqrt{3} + 2 \sqrt{3} + 4 {\sqrt{3}}^{2}$

Rewrite ${\sqrt{3}}^{2}$ as $3$ .

Use $\sqrt[n]{a^{x}} = a^{\frac{x}{n}}$ to rewrite $\sqrt{3}$ as $3^{\frac{1}{2}}$ .

$5 + 10 \sqrt{3} + 2 \sqrt{3} + 4 {(3^{\frac{1}{2}})}^{2}$

Apply the power rule and multiply exponents, ${(a^{m})}^{n} = a^{m n}$ .

$5 + 10 \sqrt{3} + 2 \sqrt{3} + 4 \cdot 3^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2}$

Combine $\frac{1}{2}$ and $2$ .

$5 + 10 \sqrt{3} + 2 \sqrt{3} + 4 \cdot 3^{\frac{2}{2}}$

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$5 + 10 \sqrt{3} + 2 \sqrt{3} + 4 \cdot 3^{\frac{2}{2}}$

Rewrite the expression.

$5 + 10 \sqrt{3} + 2 \sqrt{3} + 4 \cdot 3^{1}$

Evaluate the exponent.

$5 + 10 \sqrt{3} + 2 \sqrt{3} + 4 \cdot 3$

Multiply $4$ by $3$ .

$5 + 10 \sqrt{3} + 2 \sqrt{3} + 12$

Add $5$ and $12$ .

$17 + 10 \sqrt{3} + 2 \sqrt{3}$

Add $10 \sqrt{3}$ and $2 \sqrt{3}$ .

$17 + 12 \sqrt{3}$

Step 4

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

$17 + 12 \sqrt{3}$

Decimal Form:

$37.78460969 \dots$
