Answer

$-\sqrt[3]{2}$

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of radicals, the given expression, $ 9\sqrt[3]{2}-5\sqrt[3]{16} ,$ simplifies to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} 9\sqrt[3]{2}-5\sqrt[3]{8\cdot2} \\\\= 9\sqrt[3]{2}-5\sqrt[3]{(2)^3\cdot2} \\\\= 9\sqrt[3]{2}-5(2)\sqrt[3]{2} \\\\= 9\sqrt[3]{2}-10\sqrt[3]{2} \\\\= -\sqrt[3]{2} .\end{array}
