You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(A) sqrt%283%29%28sqrt+%286%29+-+2sqrt%283%29%29
Multiply what is inside the brackets by sqrt%283%29, you have:
sqrt%2818%29+-+2%283%29; sqrt(3)*sqrt(3) = 3
:
same as
sqrt%282%2A9%29+-+6;
:
extract the sqrt of 9
3sqrt%282%29+-+6
:
:
(B) %28sqrt%2818%29-+sqrt%283%29%29%2F%28sqrt%286%29%29* sqrt%286%29%2Fsqrt%286%29 = %28sqrt%28108%29-+sqrt%2818%29%29%2F6%29 = %28sqrt%2836%2A3%29-+sqrt%282%2A9%29%29%2F6 = %286sqrt%283%29-+3sqrt%282%29%29%2F6%29
:
Reduce this fraction divide each term by 3:
%282sqrt%283%29-+sqrt%282%29%29%2F2%29
:
How about this? Make sense to you?
