ASVAB Arithmetic Reasoning Practice Test 914317

Question 1 of 5
Adding & Subtracting Radicals

To add or subtract radicals, the degree and radicand must be the same. For example, \(2\sqrt{3} + 3\sqrt{3} = 5\sqrt{3}\) but \(2\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{3}\) cannot be added because they have different radicands.

What is \( 3 \)\( \sqrt{27} \) - \( 5 \)\( \sqrt{3} \)

15\( \sqrt{81} \)
4\( \sqrt{3} \)
-2\( \sqrt{27} \)
-2\( \sqrt{81} \)
