Step 1.1

Rewrite $9$ as $3^{2}$ .

$- \sqrt{3^{2}} + \sqrt{- 4} - (2 \sqrt{576} + \sqrt{- 64})$

Step 1.2

Pull terms out from under the radical, assuming positive real numbers.

$- 1 \cdot 3 + \sqrt{- 4} - (2 \sqrt{576} + \sqrt{- 64})$

Step 1.3

Multiply $- 1$ by $3$ .

$- 3 + \sqrt{- 4} - (2 \sqrt{576} + \sqrt{- 64})$

Step 1.4

Rewrite $- 4$ as $- 1 (4)$ .

$- 3 + \sqrt{- 1 (4)} - (2 \sqrt{576} + \sqrt{- 64})$

Step 1.5

Rewrite $\sqrt{- 1 (4)}$ as $\sqrt{- 1} \cdot \sqrt{4}$ .

$- 3 + \sqrt{- 1} \cdot \sqrt{4} - (2 \sqrt{576} + \sqrt{- 64})$

Step 1.6

Rewrite $\sqrt{- 1}$ as $i$ .

$- 3 + i \cdot \sqrt{4} - (2 \sqrt{576} + \sqrt{- 64})$

Step 1.7

Rewrite $4$ as $2^{2}$ .

$- 3 + i \cdot \sqrt{2^{2}} - (2 \sqrt{576} + \sqrt{- 64})$

Step 1.8

Pull terms out from under the radical, assuming positive real numbers.

$- 3 + i \cdot 2 - (2 \sqrt{576} + \sqrt{- 64})$

Step 1.9

Move $2$ to the left of $i$ .

$- 3 + 2 \cdot i - (2 \sqrt{576} + \sqrt{- 64})$

Step 1.10

Rewrite $- 64$ as $- 1 (64)$ .

$- 3 + 2 i - (2 \sqrt{576} + \sqrt{- 1 (64)})$

Step 1.11

Rewrite $\sqrt{- 1 (64)}$ as $\sqrt{- 1} \cdot \sqrt{64}$ .

$- 3 + 2 i - (2 \sqrt{576} + \sqrt{- 1} \cdot \sqrt{64})$

Step 1.12

Rewrite $\sqrt{- 1}$ as $i$ .

$- 3 + 2 i - (2 \sqrt{576} + i \cdot \sqrt{64})$
