    Default Quick maths question as I'm just unsure and I better nail it early

    If I have something like (2rt6)(rt2 + 6), when multiplying out would I do 2*rt2 or 2rt6*rt2?

    Well you wouldn't need to change anything inside the bracket unless you have the values for r and t

    so you'd just times the brackets together

    By the way if you want to use words sqrt is much more universally accepted or even ^1/2 for square root or ^1/3 for cube root
