Julie, as a friend I need to tell you that your spelling needs work. Combine and simplify are very different from "combing" and "simply."
sqrt(128)=? Look for perfect square factors of 128. 16 is such a factor; if we take 16 as one factor, the other one is 8.
Then sqrt(128) = sqrt(16)sqrt(8) = 4sqrt(8). Subtract 3sqrt(8) from that and you get 1sqrt(8) (answer).
