Find $\displaystyle{ \frac{2}{1 + 2\sqrt{3}} + \frac{3}{2 - \sqrt{3}}}$, and write your answer in the form $\displaystyle \frac{A + B\sqrt{3}}{C}$, with the fraction in lowest terms and $A > 0$. What is $A+B+C$?

\(\frac{2}{1+2\sqrt{3}} \cdot \frac{1-2\sqrt{3}}{1-2\sqrt{3}}+ \frac{3}{2-\sqrt{3}} \cdot \frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2+\sqrt{3}}\)

 

\(\frac{2 - 4\sqrt{3}}{13} + \frac{6 + 3\sqrt{3}}{1}\)

 

\(\frac{(2 - 4\sqrt{3} )+ 13(6 + 3\sqrt{3})}{13}\)

 

\(\frac{80 +35\sqrt{3}}{13}\)

Hello oliviapow06...!

\(\frac{2}{1+2\sqrt{3}}+\frac{3}{2-\sqrt{3}}\)

 

\(=\frac{2\left(2-\sqrt{3}\right)}{\left(1+2\sqrt{3}\right)\left(2-\sqrt{3}\right)}+\frac{3\left(1+2\sqrt{3}\right)}{\left(2-\sqrt{3}\right)\left(1+2\sqrt{3}\right)}\)

 

\(=\frac{2\left(2-\sqrt{3}\right)+3\left(1+2\sqrt{3}\right)}{\left(2-\sqrt{3}\right)\left(1+2\sqrt{3}\right)}\)

 

\(=\frac{2\left(2-\sqrt{3}\right)+3\left(1+2\sqrt{3}\right)}{3\sqrt{3}-4}\)

 

\(=\frac{7+4\sqrt{3}}{3\sqrt{3}-4}\)

 

\(=\frac{37\sqrt{3}+64}{11}\)


\(A=64\)

\(B\sqrt{3}=37\sqrt{3}\)

\(C=11\)

 

\(64+37\sqrt{3}+11\)

\(=75+37\sqrt{3}\)
