I'm glad you figured it out. However just in case others may be wondering.

24 is always to equal the sq rt of 2 * sq rt of 2 * 12 (this is because sq rt of 2 times sq rt of 2 is 2)

So (sq rt of 2 * sq rt of 2 * 12)/(sq rt of 2) you can cancel one of the sq rt of 2 out and you are left with sq rt of 2 * 12
