6 2 3 6 + 2 3 × 6 2 3 6 2 3 ( 6 2 3 ) 2 ( 6 ) 2 ( 2 3 ) 2 = 6 4 8 + 12 6 12 = 6 ( 3 + 2 2 ) 6 = 3 + 2 2 \dfrac{\sqrt{6} - 2\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{6} + 2\sqrt{3}} {\color{#3D99F6}{\times \dfrac{\sqrt{6} - 2\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{6} - 2\sqrt{3}} }} \implies \dfrac{\big(\sqrt{6} - 2\sqrt{3}\big)^2}{(\sqrt{6})^2 - (2\sqrt{3})^2} = \dfrac{6 - 4\sqrt{8} + 12}{6 - 12} = \dfrac{\cancel{-6} \big( -3 + 2\sqrt{2} \big)}{\cancel{-6}} = \boxed{ -3 + 2\sqrt{2} }

Well, again I feel sad for your solution. Why does brilliant does that? 😭

6 2 3 6 + 2 3 \frac { \sqrt { 6 } -2\sqrt { 3 } }{ \sqrt { 6 } +2\sqrt { 3 } } Then to rationalize the denominator you multiply both numerator and denominator by the conjugate. 6 2 3 \sqrt { 6 } -2\sqrt { 3 } .

6 2 3 6 + 2 3 6 2 3 6 2 3 = 6 12 2 + 12 6 = 3 + 2 2 \frac { \sqrt { 6 } -2\sqrt { 3 } }{ \sqrt { 6 } +2\sqrt { 3 } } *\frac { \sqrt { 6 } -2\sqrt { 3 } }{ \sqrt { 6 } -2\sqrt { 3 } } =\frac { 6-12\sqrt { 2 } +12 }{ -6 } =-3+2\sqrt { 2 }
