You need to force the use of the real root rather than the principal root for the cube root subexpressions ((9 (3)^(1/2) - 4 (23)^(1/2)))^(1/3) // N 0.765945 + 1.32666 I Solve[a^3 == (9 (3)^(1/2) - 4 (23)^(1/2)), a] // N // Chop {{a -> 0.765945 + 1.32666 I}, {a -> 0.765945 - 1.32666 I}, {a -> -1.53189}} expr /. Solve[{ expr == (a + b)/(3)^(1/2), a^3 == (9 (3)^(1/2) + 4 (23)^(1/2)), b^3 == (9 (3)^(1/2) - 4 (23)^(1/2))}, {a, b, expr}, Reals][[1]] 1 expr /. (Reduce[{ expr == (a + b)/(3)^(1/2), a^3 == (9 (3)^(1/2) + 4 (23)^(1/2)), b^3 == (9 (3)^(1/2) - 4 (23)^(1/2))}, expr, Reals] // FullSimplify // ToRules) 1 I don't know why but WolframAlpha doesn't handle either of these Mathematica expressions when input directly as above.
