First get rid of the parentheses by using the distribution rule:

Explanation:

=sqrt(6n)xx7n^3+sqrt(6n)xxsqrt12

You may want to rearrange:
=7n^3xxsqrt(6n)+sqrt(6nxx12)
=7n^3sqrt(6n)+sqrt(6xx6xx2xxn)
=7n^3sqrt(6n)+sqrt(6xx6)xxsqrt(2xxn)

Now take out the only square:
=7n^3sqrt(6n)+6sqrt(2n)

This is not much of a simplification, but it's as far as this goes.
