Fill in the Blank

A business analyst at a local distribution center is using the equipment efficiency model 2(x2)2+3=57{}2(x - 2)^2 + 3 = 57 to determine the optimal number of hours, xx, that a sorting machine should run daily. As part of solving this equation using the Square Root Property, the analyst isolates the squared binomial to get (x2)2=27(x - 2)^2 = 27, applies the Square Root Property to get x2=±27x - 2 = \pm\sqrt{27}, and then simplifies the radical. In the resulting equation x2=±A3x - 2 = \pm A\sqrt{3}, the integer value of AA is ____.
