You need to rationalize the denominator. That is a process that gets rid of all roots in the denominator. To do that, you need to multiply the given fraction by the fraction \(\dfrac{2 + \sqrt{6x}}{2 + \sqrt{6x}} \).

Is the answer for this question A?

Math is not learned by guessing. Multiply it out and show what you get.

it is like this see..\[\frac{ 2 }{ 2-\sqrt{6x} }\times \frac{ 2+\sqrt{6x} }{ 2+\sqrt{6x} }\] \[=\frac{ 2(2+\sqrt{6x)} }{ (2)^2-(\sqrt{6x)}^2 }\] \[\frac{ 2(2+\sqrt{6x} }{ 4-6x }=\frac{ 2+\sqrt{6x} }{ 2-3x }\] answer...option B

Nah. I didn't guess. I worked out the problem, and it's what I got..if my answer is wrong then I need a lot more practicing.

If you show what you did, then we can figure out whether you are right or wrong. If you made a mistake, we can find it and figure out how to fix it.
