Ok, so

Here we have the expression:


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

Remember that:


\sqrt[]{27}=\sqrt[]{3\cdot3\cdot3}=\sqrt[]{3^2\cdot3}=3\sqrt[]{3}

If we rewrite:


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

If we have the same radical, we can sum the terms:


(-27+9)\sqrt[]{3}=-18\sqrt[]{3}
