Answer

$7xyz^2\sqrt {z} + 7xz^2\sqrt {yz}$

Work Step by Step

Rewrite each radicand as the product of a perfect square and another factor: $3xy\sqrt {9 • z^4 • z} + 7xz^2\sqrt {yz} - 2xyz^2\sqrt {z}$ Take the square root of the perfect squares: $3xy • 3 • z^2\sqrt {z} + 7xz^2\sqrt {yz} - 2xyz^2\sqrt {z}$ Simplify the radicals by multiplying the coefficients of each radical: $9xyz^2\sqrt {z} + 7xz^2\sqrt {yz} - 2xyz^2\sqrt {z}$ Combine like terms: $7xyz^2\sqrt {z} + 7xz^2\sqrt {yz}$
