If what you're looking for is this:
5%2Asqrt%283%29%2A%286%2Asqrt%2812%29-4%2Asqrt%286%29%29 then here's how I'd do it:
First, apply the distributive property:
5%2Asqrt%283%29%2A6%2Asqrt%2812%29+-+5%2Asqrt%283%29%2A4%2Asqrt%286%29
30%2Asqrt%283%29%2Asqrt%2812%29+-+20%2Asqrt%283%29%2Asqrt%286%29
30%2Asqrt%283%2A12%29+-+20%2Asqrt%283%2A6%29
30%2Asqrt%2836%29+-+20%2Asqrt%2818%29
30%2A6+-+20%2Asqrt%289%2A2%29
180+-+20%2Asqrt%289%29%2Asqrt%282%29
180+-+20%2A3%2Asqrt%282%29
180+-+60%2Asqrt%282%29
And, optionally:
60%2A%283-sqrt%282%29%29
