To distribute -3√3 to (2 + √6), we can use the distributive property:

-3√3 (2 + √6) = (-3√3 * 2) + (-3√3 * √6)

Next, we can simplify each term using the product rule of radicals:

(-3√3 * 2) = -6√3

(-3√3 * √6) = -3√(3

Therefore, when we distribute -3√3 to (2 + √6), we get:

-3√3 (2 + √6) = -6√3 - 9√2.
