Math Problem Statement

Simplify the given expressions and determine their equivalence. The two questions include: 1. Simplify: \( \frac{6}{\sqrt{3}} - \frac{2}{\sqrt{3} + 1} \) and identify the correct answer. 2. Simplify: \( \frac{7}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3 + \sqrt{2}}} \) and determine the correct result.

Solution

Let's solve these questions step by step.


First Expression

The problem asks for the simplification of the following expression:

6323+1\frac{6}{\sqrt{3}} - \frac{2}{\sqrt{3} + 1}

We need to simplify and check which option matches the answer.

  1. Simplify 63\frac{6}{\sqrt{3}}:
    Multiply numerator and denominator by 3\sqrt{3} to rationalize:
    [ \frac{6}{\
