Answer

$\dfrac{-3\sqrt{6}-6}{2}$

Work Step by Step

Rationalizing the denominator of $ \dfrac{-3}{\sqrt{6}-2} $ results to \begin{array}{l} \dfrac{-3}{\sqrt{6}-2} \cdot \dfrac{\sqrt{6}+2}{\sqrt{6}+2} \\\\= \dfrac{-3\sqrt{6}-6}{(\sqrt{6})^2-(2)^2} \\\\= \dfrac{-3\sqrt{6}-6}{6-4} \\\\= \dfrac{-3\sqrt{6}-6}{2} .\end{array}
