Answer:


√(27)-6\sqrt3 =

-3\sqrt3.

Explanation:

Given:

The given expression to simplify is:


√(27)-6\sqrt3

Now, 27 can be written as


27=3* 3* 3\\27=3^2* 3

Now, we know that for a square root function:


√(x^2)=x and


√(xy)=√(x)* √(y)

Therefore,
√(27)=√(3^2* 3)=√(3^2)* √(3)=3√(3)

Now, plug in the value
3\sqrt3 for
√(27). This gives,


3√(3)-6\sqrt3


\sqrt3 is a common factor in both the terms above. So, we factor it out. This gives,


\sqrt3(3-6)\\\sqrt3(-3)\\-3\sqrt3

Therefore, the simplified answer is
-3\sqrt3.
