Radical Simplification in Technical Calculations

A manufacturing technician is solving the equation (x2)2+3=30(x - 2)^2 + 3 = 30 to determine the tolerance for a precision component. After isolating the squared term and taking the square root of both sides, the technician obtains the expression x2=±27x - 2 = \pm\sqrt{27}. Based on the standard procedure for solving this equation, what is the simplified radical form of 27\sqrt{27} that should be used for the final calculation?
