To solve this, we have to know the laws of exponents. Knowing those makes questions like these basically free points.
First:
\(\sqrt{6}=\sqrt{3}\times \sqrt{2}\)
So:
\(2\times \sqrt{2}\times \sqrt{3}\times \sqrt{2}+2\sqrt{3}\)
Simplify:
\(2\times 2\times \sqrt{3}+2\sqrt{3}\)
\(4\sqrt{3}+2\sqrt{3}\)
\(6\sqrt{3}\)
First:
\(\sqrt{6}=\sqrt{3}\times \sqrt{2}\)
So:
\(2\times \sqrt{2}\times \sqrt{3}\times \sqrt{2}+2\sqrt{3}\)
Simplify:
\(2\times 2\times \sqrt{3}+2\sqrt{3}\)
\(4\sqrt{3}+2\sqrt{3}\)
\(6\sqrt{3}\)
