Answer:
3√(7)

3*sqrt(7)

3 times the square root of 7

====================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming the V stands for square root. You can write sqrt(63).


√(63) = √(9*7)\\\\√(63) = √(9)*√(7)\\\\√(63) = 3√(7)

The idea is to factor 63 in such a way that one factor is the largest perfect square possible, that way we can pull the root apart to simplify as shown above. The rule I used for the second step is
√(x*y) = √(x)*√(y)
