Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Radical Expressions
Radical expressions involve roots, such as square roots or cube roots. In this context, the cube root (³√) indicates the number that, when multiplied by itself three times, gives the original number. Understanding how to manipulate these expressions is crucial for simplifying and multiplying them correctly.

Distributive Property
The distributive property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac. This property allows us to multiply a single term by each term within a parenthesis. In the given problem, applying the distributive property is essential to multiply ³√3 with each term inside the parentheses (³√6 and 7 ³√4) effectively.
