(4√3 + 3√2)(4√3 - 3√2)

48 - 12√6 + 12√6 - 18

= 30

Use the formula : (a - b)(a + b) = (a² - b²)

Hence, (4√3 + 3√2)(4√3 - 3√2) = (4√3)² - (3√2)² = 48 - 18 = 30

I used the simple arithmetic formula,

(a+b)(a-b)= a^2 - b^2

The answer comes to 30 too... please lemme know if there's anything which consumes less time!
