Answer

$\sqrt[3]{18} + 7\sqrt[3]{12}$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: (1) Distributive Property: For any real numbers a, b, and c, $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ (2) For any real numbers real numbers a and b within the domain, $\sqrt[n]{a} \cdot \sqrt[n]{b}=\sqrt[n]{ab}$ Use rule (1) above to obtain: $=\sqrt[3]{3}(\sqrt[3]{6}) + \sqrt[3]{3} \cdot 7\sqrt[3]{4}$ Use rule (2) above to obtain: $=\sqrt[3]{3(6)} + 7\sqrt[3]{3(4)} \\=\sqrt[3]{18} + 7\sqrt[3]{12}$
