it is given that 3 -√2/(3 + √2)=a+b
solving
3-√2/3+√2=3-√2/3+√2 *3-√2/3-√2 in this step we have rationalised by 3-√2
this will give you (3-√2)²/9-2 using (a+b)(a-b)=a²-b²
=9+2-6√2/7
=11=6√2/7
=a=11/7
b=6/7 by comparing a+b√2 by our ans
sorry it was my mistake it is -6/7 as while comparing a+b√2=11+(-6√2)/7
once again sorry! so b=-6/7

but the value of b is given -6/7
