    Hi Princess

    1.

    (2 + √3) / (2 - √3)

    = [(2 + √3)*(2 + √3)] / [(2 - √3)*(2 + √3)]

    = (4 + 3 + 4√3) / (4 - 3)

    = 7 + 4√3

    2.

    (2a)^-2 / (2a)^-3

    = 2a^ (-2+3)

    = 2a

    3.

    (3 + 2i) / (3 - 2i)

    = (3 + 2i)(3 + 2i) / ((3 - 2i)(3 + 2i)

    = (9 + 4i^2 + 12i) / (9 - 4i^2)

    = (9 - 4 + 12i)/(9+4)

    = (5/13) +(12/13)i

    4.

    quantity saline solution / Quantity water = (15 -0) / (20-15) = 15/5 = 3/1

    So to 6 gallons of 20% solution add 2 gallons of water to get 8 gallons of 15% solution.

    5.

    Time taken by all three working together is 'T'

    T/4 + T/6 + T/2 = 1

    T ( 3 + 2 + 6) / 12 = 1

    T=12/11 days = 1 + 1/11 days
