Answer

$3\sqrt{6}$

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $=\sqrt{3}(\sqrt{72}-3\sqrt{2})$ Factor as square terms. $=\sqrt{3}(\sqrt{36\cdot2}-3\sqrt{2})$ Use product property of square roots. $=\sqrt{3}(\sqrt{36}\cdot \sqrt{2}-3\sqrt{2})$ Use $\sqrt {36}=6$. $=\sqrt{3}(6\sqrt{2}-3\sqrt{2})$ Use distributive property. $=\sqrt{3}\cdot \sqrt 2(6-3)$ Use product property of square roots. $=\sqrt{3\cdot 2}(6-3)$ Simplify. $=\sqrt{6}(3)$ $=3\sqrt{6}$
