Explanation:

Comment

18 factors into 2 * 3 * 3

Both factors have an a^2 under the root sign. The rule for that is take 1 a outside the root sign and throw the other one away.

The same rule applies to the two 3s that factor 18.

What you get is

3a√2 * 4*a*√3

Answer 12a^2 √2 * √3

Answer: 12a^2 * √6
