Please try and explain this to me, I'm stuck.

Question 1)
Expand the brackets using the distributive property:
√18 - 2(3)
= √18 - 6
To simplify √18, think of two numbers that when multiplied together give 18 and one of those numbers needs to be a perfect square:
√9 x √2
= 3 x √2
= 3√2
= 3√2 - 6
-----------------
Question 2)
Simplify the radicals inside the brackets:
1 / (√2) [2√2 + √2]
Combine the radicals into a single radical:
1 / (√2) [3√2]
Rationalise the denominator by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by √2:
(√2) / 2 [3√2]
Expand the brackets:
3(2) / 2
= 3

√3 (√6 - 2√3) = √3* √6 - √3* 2 √3 because of the distributive property
√3* √6- √3*2 √3= 3 √2 - 6 because
√3* √3= √3^2 and since square root and squares cancel u get 3
And
√3* √6= √3* √3* √2 and we know that √3 * √3= 3 so you get √3* √6= 3 √2
Your answer is 3 √2 - 6
Now number 2
√1/2 * ( √8+ √2) remember the distrubutive property so it becomes √1/2* √8 + √1/2* √2
Whiich when you simplified u get √4+ √1 which is equal to 2+1 which is equal to 3.
√3* √6- √3*2 √3= 3 √2 - 6 because
√3* √3= √3^2 and since square root and squares cancel u get 3
And
√3* √6= √3* √3* √2 and we know that √3 * √3= 3 so you get √3* √6= 3 √2
Your answer is 3 √2 - 6
Now number 2
√1/2 * ( √8+ √2) remember the distrubutive property so it becomes √1/2* √8 + √1/2* √2
Whiich when you simplified u get √4+ √1 which is equal to 2+1 which is equal to 3.

first one:
sqrt(3.6) - 2.sqrt(3.3)=
sqrt(3.3.2) - 2.sqrt(3.3)=
3. sqrt(2) - 2.3 =
3. sqrt(2) - 6 =
3(sqrt(2) - 2)
Just follow these steps with a pencil and it will make sense.
Same thing for the next one.
Just multiply 1/2 by the number inside each square root and in the first one you will get 4 while in the second you will get 1. So the result is going to be:
sqrt(4) + sqrt(1)= 2 + 1 = 3
sqrt(3.6) - 2.sqrt(3.3)=
sqrt(3.3.2) - 2.sqrt(3.3)=
3. sqrt(2) - 2.3 =
3. sqrt(2) - 6 =
3(sqrt(2) - 2)

3 (√6 - 2√3) and also √1/2 · (√8 + √2)?
1.
sqrt(18)-2(3)=3sqrt(2)-6
2.
sqrt(1/2)*(sqrt(8)+sqrt(2))
=2sqrt(2)*sqrt(1/2)+sqrt(2)*sqrt(1/2)
=2+1=3
1.

2.
sqrt(1/2)*(sqrt(8)+sqrt(2))
=2sqrt(2)*sqrt(1/2)+sqrt(2)*sqrt(1/2)
=2+1=3
