Solution

To simplify the expression 10639710\sqrt{63} - 9\sqrt{7}, we need to factor the square roots if possible.

  1. Start by simplifying 63\sqrt{63}:

    • 63=9×7=9×7=37\sqrt{63} = \sqrt{9 \times 7} = \sqrt{9} \times \sqrt{7} = 3\sqrt{7}.
  2. Substitute this back into the expression: 106397=10×3797=3079710\sqrt{63} - 9\sqrt{7} = 10 \times 3\sqrt{7} - 9\sqrt{7} = 30\sqrt{7} - 9\sqrt{7}

  3. Combine like terms: 30797=(309)7=21730\sqrt{7} - 9\sqrt{7} = (30 - 9)\sqrt{7} = 21\sqrt{7}

So, the simplified expression is 217\boxed{21\sqrt{7}}.
