First, solve 7 times square root of 5.

7 x 2.236 = 15.652

Now find the solution above that results in 15.65.

We can quickly eliminate the top 2 as they will result in very large numbers.

The bottom problem is quick to check - simplifies to (7 + 5)/5 = 2.4. No

It looks like the next to last answer is our best bet.

Figure the square root of 196 (14) and multiply by square root of 5 (2.236).  Giving us 31.304.

Divide the result by 2.  And that gives us 15.652.

If you knew the square root of 196 was 14, it was helpful to find this quickly because 14/2 = 7 and then the other square root was the 5 from the problem.
