3 square root 3/2 - 4 square root 2/3 - square root 4/1
[Multiply each fraction by the lowest common denominator (LCD=6)].
.
(6)(3 square root 3/2) - (6)(4 square root 2/3) - (6)(square root 4/1)
[Cancel wherever possible]
.
[(9 square root 3) - (8 square root 2) - (6 square root 4)]/6
[Place over the LCD]
.
[(9 square root 3) - (8 square root 2) - ((6)(2))] /6
[The sqrt of 4 = 2]
.
[(9 square root 3) - (8 square root 2) - (12)] /6 [Final answer]
