You can put this solution on YOUR website! help on Rationalizing the denominator and simplifying this equation.
[3 sqrt(6)+5 sqrt(2)] / [4 sqrt(6)- 3 sqrt (2)]
------------
Multiply numerator and denominator by [4sqrt(6)+3sqrt(2)] to get:
-----
[3sqrt(6)+5sqrt(2)][4sqrt(6)+3sqrt(2)]/[4sqrt(6)- 3sqrt(2)][4sqrt(6)+3sqrt(2)]
--------
= [[12*6 +9*sqrt(12) + 20sqrt(12) +15*2]/[16*6-9*2]
--------
= [102 +18sqrt(3) + 40sqrt(3)]/78
-----
= [102 + 58sqrt(3)]/78
----
= [51 + 29sqrt(3)]/39
