See a solution process below:

Factor out a common factor from each term:

#-3color(red)(sqrt(3)) + 4color(red)(sqrt(3)) - 2color(red)(sqrt(3)) =>#

#(-3 + 4 - 2)color(red)(sqrt(3)) =>#

#-1color(red)(sqrt(3)) =>#

#-color(red)(sqrt(3))#

If you need a single number:

#-1.732# rounded to the nearest thousandth.
