-18\sqrt[]{3}

Step-by-step explanation


-27\sqrt[]{3}+3\sqrt[]{27}

Step 1

Let's remember one propertie of the roots


\sqrt[]{a\cdot b}=\sqrt[]{a}\cdot\sqrt[]{b}

hence


\sqrt[]{27}=\sqrt[]{9\cdot3}=\sqrt[]{9}\cdot\sqrt[]{3}=3\sqrt[]{3}

replacing in the expression


\begin{gathered} -27\sqrt[]{3}+3\sqrt[]{27} \\ -27\sqrt[]{3}+3(3\sqrt[]{3}) \\ -27\sqrt[]{3}+9\sqrt[]{3} \\ (-27+9)\sqrt[]{3} \\ -18\sqrt[]{3} \end{gathered}

therefore, the answer is


-18\sqrt[]{3}

I hope this helps you
