If you take the number apart (factorize) you'll see that:
$12=2*2*3and75=3*5*5$

You can take the 'doubles' (squares) out from under the root, where they become single:

$sqrt12=sqrt(2*2*3)=sqrt(2^2)*sqrt3=2sqrt3$

$sqrt75=sqrt(5*5*3)=sqrt(5^2)*sqrt3=5sqrt3$

Adding these will give you $7sqrt3$ as the final answer.
