| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{6} + 3} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ -9 } \cdot \left( \sqrt{6} + 3\right) = \color{blue}{-9} \cdot \sqrt{6}\color{blue}{-9} \cdot3 = \\ = - 9 \sqrt{6}-27 $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( \sqrt{6}-3\right) } \cdot \left( \sqrt{6} + 3\right) = \color{blue}{ \sqrt{6}} \cdot \sqrt{6}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{6}} \cdot3\color{blue}{-3} \cdot \sqrt{6}\color{blue}{-3} \cdot3 = \\ = 6 + 3 \sqrt{6}- 3 \sqrt{6}-9 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
| ④ | Multiply both numerator and denominator by -1. |
