(√2 - √3)/(3√2 + 2√3) = a + b√6
LHS = (√2 - √3)(3√2 -2√3)/(3√2 +2√3)(3√2 - 2√3)
= { √2(3√2 -2√3) -√3 (3√2 -2√3)}/{(3√2)²-(2√3)² }
={ 6 -2√6 -3√6+6 }/{ 18 - 12}
={ 12 - 5√6 }/6
=2 - (5/12)√6 = a + b√6
so, a = 2 and b = -5/12
LHS = (√2 - √3)(3√2 -2√3)/(3√2 +2√3)(3√2 - 2√3)
= { √2(3√2 -2√3) -√3 (3√2 -2√3)}/{(3√2)²-(2√3)² }
={ 6 -2√6 -3√6+6 }/{ 18 - 12}
={ 12 - 5√6 }/6
=2 - (5/12)√6 = a + b√6
so, a = 2 and b = -5/12

Answer:
hey mate! hope it helps u
Step-by-step explanation:
(√2 - √3)/(3√2 + 2√3) = a + b√6
LHS = (√2 - √3)(3√2 -2√3)/(3√2 +2√3)(3√2 - 2√3)
= { √2(3√2 -2√3) -√3 (3√2 -2√3)}/{(3√2)²-(2√3)² }
={ 6 -2√6 -3√6+6 }/{ 18 - 12}
={ 12 - 5√6 }/6
=2 - (5/12)√6 = a + b√6
so, a = 2 and b = -5/12
