\[-\sqrt{27}-3\sqrt{20}-2\sqrt{5}+3\sqrt{5}\]
First change the numbers under the square roots to products of a square times something. So, \[-\sqrt{9x3}-3\sqrt{4x5}-2\sqrt{5}+3\sqrt{5}\] Now, take the square roots of those square numbers and move them outside the radicand: \[-3\sqrt{3}-3x2\sqrt{5}-2\sqrt{5}+3\sqrt{5}\] Now simplify: \[-3\sqrt{3}-6\sqrt{5}-2\sqrt{5}+3\sqrt{5}\] And combine like terms: \[-3\sqrt{3}-5\sqrt{5}\] There's your answer.
Thanks
