Given that
4+23523\frac{4+2\sqrt{3}}{5-2\sqrt{3}}
can be written in the form
a+b3c,\frac{a+b\sqrt{3}}{c},
where a\displaystyle a and b\displaystyle b are integers and c\displaystyle c is prime, find the value of a\displaystyle a, the value of b\displaystyle b and the value of c\displaystyle c.
Show your working clearly.
