If the statement is true, type true in the space provided. If it is false, replace the underlined word(s) with the word(s) that will make the statement true.

The sum and difference of two simple quadratic surds are said to be conjugate surds to each other.
In general, the following surds are conjugate to each other:
[tex](x\sqrt{a}+y\sqrt{b})\text{ and \lparen}x\sqrt{a}-y\sqrt{b})[/tex]Therefore, the conjugate of the surd:
[tex](5-\sqrt{7})[/tex]will be:
[tex](5+\sqrt{7})[/tex]The statement is true.
