%28sqrt%283%29%2B2%2Asqrt%285%29%29%286%2Asqrt%283%29-sqrt%285%29%29
%28sqrt%283%29%2B2%2Asqrt%285%29%29%286%2Asqrt%283%29-sqrt%285%29%29foil the two parenthesis

6%2Asqrt%283%2A3%29-sqrt%283%29sqrt%285%29%2B12%2Asqrt%283%29sqrt%285%29-2%2Asqrt%285%2A5%29
6%2Asqrt%289%29-sqrt%283%29sqrt%285%29%2B12%2Asqrt%283%29sqrt%285%29-2%2Asqrt%2825%29
6%2A%283%29%2B11%2Asqrt%283%29sqrt%285%29-2%2A%285%29Add like terms. If we let x=sqrt%283%29sqrt%285%29 then it becomes -x%2B12x=11x
18%2B11%2Asqrt%283%29sqrt%285%29-10
8%2B11%2Asqrt%283%29sqrt%285%29There's the simplified answer.
