Given,

x=462+3x22=462+322x22=232+3x = \dfrac{4\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}} \\[1em] \dfrac{x}{2\sqrt{2}} = \dfrac{\dfrac{4\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}}}{2\sqrt{2}} \\[1em] \therefore \dfrac{x}{2\sqrt{2}} = \dfrac{2\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}}

By componendo and dividendo,

x+22x22=23+2+32323x+22x22=33+232[….Eq 1]x23=462+323x23=222+3\Rightarrow \dfrac{x + 2\sqrt{2}}{x - 2\sqrt{2}} = \dfrac{2\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{x + 2\sqrt{2}}{x - 2\sqrt{2}} = \dfrac{3\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2}} \qquad \text{[….Eq 1]} \\[1.5em] \dfrac{x}{2\sqrt{3}} = \dfrac{\dfrac{4\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}}}{2\sqrt{3}} \\[1em] \therefore \dfrac{x}{2\sqrt{3}} = \dfrac{2\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}}

By componendo and dividendo,

x+23x23=22+2+32223x+23x23=32+323[….Eq 2]\Rightarrow \dfrac{x + 2\sqrt{3}}{x - 2\sqrt{3}} = \dfrac{2\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{x + 2\sqrt{3}}{x - 2\sqrt{3}} = \dfrac{3\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3}} \qquad \text{[….Eq 2]}

Adding Eq 1 and 2,

x+22x22+x+23x23=33+232+32+323x+22x22+x+23x23=33+23232+332x+22x22+x+23x23=33+232332x+22x22+x+23x23=232232x+22x22+x+23x23=2(32)32=2.\Rightarrow \dfrac{x + 2\sqrt{2}}{x - 2\sqrt{2}} + \dfrac{x + 2\sqrt{3}}{x - 2\sqrt{3}} = \dfrac{3\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2}} + \dfrac{3\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{x + 2\sqrt{2}}{x - 2\sqrt{2}} + \dfrac{x + 2\sqrt{3}}{x - 2\sqrt{3}} = \dfrac{3\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2}} - \dfrac{3\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{x + 2\sqrt{2}}{x - 2\sqrt{2}} + \dfrac{x + 2\sqrt{3}}{x - 2\sqrt{3}} = \dfrac{3\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2} - 3\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{x + 2\sqrt{2}}{x - 2\sqrt{2}} + \dfrac{x + 2\sqrt{3}}{x - 2\sqrt{3}} = \dfrac{2\sqrt{3} - 2\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{x + 2\sqrt{2}}{x - 2\sqrt{2}} + \dfrac{x + 2\sqrt{3}}{x - 2\sqrt{3}} = \dfrac{2(\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2})}{\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2}} = 2. \\[1em]

Hence, the required value is 2.
