Not in the real number system. -3 * SQRT(-36) is -18i in the imaginary number system. There is no real number that is the square root of -36.

To simplify a square root, you "take out" anything that is a "perfect square"; that is, you take out front anything that has two copies of the same factor. Sometimes the argument of a radical is not a perfect square, but it may "contain" a square amongst its factors. To simplify, you need to factor the argument and "take out" anything that is a square.
