Math Problem Statement

Simplify the expression √48 + √108 - √27.

Solution

The image contains an expression that seems to involve square roots. Here's what I can see from the image:

48+10827\sqrt{48} + \sqrt{108} - \sqrt{27}

Let me simplify this expression step by step:

1. Simplifying the square roots:

48=16×3=43\sqrt{48} = \sqrt{16 \times 3} = 4\sqrt{3} 108=36×3=63\sqrt{108} = \sqrt{36 \times 3} = 6\sqrt{3} 27=9×3=33\sqrt{27} = \sqrt{9 \times 3} = 3\sqrt{3}

2. Substituting the simplified values:

43+63334\sqrt{3} + 6\sqrt{3} - 3\sqrt{3}

3. Combining the terms:

(4+63)3=73(4 + 6 - 3)\sqrt{3} = 7\sqrt{3}

So, the simplified form of the expression is: 737\sqrt{3}
