Answer:

By the distributive property,

A number or a term can be distribute inside the bracket under the operation of multiplication over addition.

For eg :

a(b + c) = ab + ac

Given expression is,


11√(7)-6√(7)+3√(2)

By the converse of distributive property,


√(7)(11-6)+3√(2)


5√(7)+3√(2)

Which is the simplified form of the given expression.
