Final answer:

To combine the given radicals, start by simplifying the expression and then combine the radicals by addition or subtraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Simplify the given expression by combining like terms, starting with radicals.
  2. -3/81 + √16 - 23 - √397 - √3713
  3. -3/81 + 4 - 23 - √397 - √3713
  4. -3/81 - 19 - √397 - √3713
  5. Combine the radicals by addition or subtraction.
  6. -3/81 - 19 - √(397 + 3713)
  7. -3/81 - 19 - √4110
  8. The simplified expression is -3/81 - 19 - √4110.
