You cannot simplify any further because these are two different terms. Their radicands are different.
.
If the problem was:
3sqrt%282%29-2sqrt%282%29%29 than you could combine the like terms (subtract), because the radicands are the same (%28sqrt%282%29%29).
3sqrt%282%29-2sqrt%282%29%29
1sqrt%282%29%29%29
