anyone mind checking my homework and help me with the problems i got wrong

1)-5[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] - 3[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] = -8[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]

2)2[tex]\sqrt{8}[/tex] - [tex]\sqrt{8}[/tex] = 4[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] - 2[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] =
2[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]

3)-4[tex]\sqrt{6}[/tex] - [tex]\sqrt{6}[/tex] = -4[tex]\sqrt{6}[/tex]

4)-3[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex] + 2[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex]

5)-3[tex]\sqrt{27}[/tex] - 3[tex]\sqrt{27}[/tex] - 3[tex]\sqrt{27}[/tex] = -9[tex]\sqrt{27}[/tex]

6)-3[tex]\sqrt{12}[/tex] + 3[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] + 3[tex]\sqrt{20}[/tex] = -6[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] + 3[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] + 6[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex]

7)-2[tex]\sqrt{45}[/tex] - 3[tex]\sqrt{20}[/tex] - 2[tex]\sqrt{6}[/tex] = -6[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex] - 6[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex] - 2[tex]\sqrt{6}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex] - 2[tex]\sqrt{6}[/tex]

8)[tex]\sqrt{6}[/tex] * [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{12}[/tex]

9)[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex] * [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{15}[/tex]

10)[tex]\sqrt[3]{3}[/tex] * [tex]\sqrt[3]{9}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt[3]{27}[/tex] = 3

11)[tex]\sqrt[3]{-20}[/tex] * [tex]\sqrt[3]{3}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt[3]{60}[/tex]

3) is wrong, probably a typo...
4) is wrong: the sign is incorrect
6) is correct, but you can simplify it further: I see two [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] there...
7) the second step is wrong, I really don't see how you got there
8) can be simplified further...
11) your sign is wrong
 
can u tell me how i can fix number 11 and number 7?
 
For number 11, you just need that the cube root of a negative is a negative. Thus [tex]\sqrt[3]{-20}=-\sqrt[3]{20}[/tex].

For number 7:

[tex]-6\sqrt[3]{5}-5\sqrt[3]{5}=(-6-6)\sqrt[3]{5}=-12\sqrt[3]{5}[/tex]
