Math Problem Statement

Show that \(\sqrt{27} + \sqrt{21} \times \sqrt{7} - \frac{6}{\sqrt{3}} = 8\sqrt{3}\)

Solution

Let's solve the given expression step by step to show that:

27+21×763=83\sqrt{27} + \sqrt{21} \times \sqrt{7} - \frac{6}{\sqrt{3}} = 8 \sqrt{3}

Step 1: Simplify 27\sqrt{27}

27=9×3=9×3=33\sqrt{27} = \sqrt{9 \times 3} = \sqrt{9} \times \sqrt{3} = 3 \sqrt{3}

Step 2: Simplify 21×7\sqrt{21} \times \sqrt{7}

21×7=21×7=147\sqrt{21} \times \sqrt{7} = \sqrt{21 \times 7} = \sqrt{147} Next, simplify 147\sqrt{147}: 147=49×3147=49×3=49×3=73147 = 49 \times 3 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \sqrt{147} = \sqrt{49 \times 3} = \sqrt{49} \times \sqrt{3} = 7 \sqrt{3}

Step 3: Simplify 63\frac{6}{\sqrt{3}}

63=63×33=633=23\frac{6}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{6}{\sqrt{3}} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{6 \sqrt{3}}{3} = 2 \sqrt{3}

Step 4: Substitute into the original expression

Now, substitute all simplified terms back into the expression: 33+73233 \sqrt{3} + 7 \sqrt{3} - 2 \sqrt{3}

Step 5: Combine like terms

(3+72)3=83(3 + 7 - 2) \sqrt{3} = 8 \sqrt{3}

This confirms that the left-hand side equals the right-hand side, so:

83=83\boxed{8 \sqrt{3} = 8 \sqrt{3}}

Thus, the equation is valid.
