any person will tell you thats the answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
whatever
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You first simplify each radical, if possible.
\[\sqrt{108} = 6\sqrt{3}\]\[-3\sqrt{8} = -6\sqrt{2}\]\[-1\sqrt{27} = -3\sqrt{3}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So you problem now becomes
\[6\sqrt{3} - 6\sqrt{2} - 3\sqrt{3}\]
Remember you can only combine like radicals, so
\[6\sqrt{3} - 3\sqrt{3} =?\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(The difference of 6sqrt(3) and 3sqrt(3)) - 6sqrt(2)
