To do this problem remember that sqrt%283%29%2Asqrt%283%29=3
sqrt%283%29%2B6%2Fsqrt%283%29 we need to find a common denominator to add to a fraction.
Currently we have %28sqrt%283%29%29%2F1%2B6%2Fsqrt%283%29 so we need to multiply the first fraction by sqrt%283%29%2Fsqrt%283%29 which will give us
sqrt%283%29%2Asqrt%283%29%2Fsqrt%283%29%2B6%2Fsqrt%283%29 which would be
3%2Fsqrt%283%29%2B6%2Fsqrt%283%29=9%2Fsqrt%283%29 now generally its bad form to leave a square root on the bottom so we can multiply by sqrt%283%29%2Fsqrt%283%29 again
%289%2Asqrt%283%29%29%2F3
You can check on your calculator that what you started with and ended with have the same value (around 5.196)
