(sqrt3/sqrt(6) -1)-(sqrt3/sqrt(6) +1)
-------
lcd: (sqrt(6)-1)(sqrt(6)+1) = 6-1 = 5
---------------------------------------------
Write each fraction with the lcd as its denominator:
---
[sqrt(3)*(sqrt(6)+1)]/lcd - [sqrt(3)*(sqrt(6)-1)]/lcd
---
Combine the numerators over the lcd:
---
[sqrt(18)+sqrt(3)- sqrt(18)+sqrt(3)]/lcd
---
Simplify:
[2sqrt(3)]/5
