Answer

$\dfrac{2+3\sqrt 2}{7}$

Work Step by Step

Simplify. $\dfrac{2\sqrt 3+\sqrt 6}{2\sqrt 6+\sqrt 3}$ Now, $\dfrac{2\sqrt 3+\sqrt 6}{2\sqrt 6+\sqrt 3}=\dfrac{(2\sqrt 3+\sqrt 6)(2\sqrt 6-\sqrt 3)}{(2\sqrt 6+\sqrt 3)(2\sqrt 6-\sqrt 3)}$ or, $=\dfrac{4\sqrt{18}-2\sqrt9+2\sqrt{36}-\sqrt{18}}{(2\sqrt 6)^2-(\sqrt 3)^2}$ or, $=\dfrac{6+9\sqrt 2}{24-3}$ or, $=\dfrac{2+3\sqrt 2}{7}$
