| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ 13 + 3 \sqrt{2}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 1 } \cdot \left( 13 + 3 \sqrt{2}\right) = \color{blue}{1} \cdot13+\color{blue}{1} \cdot 3 \sqrt{2} = \\ = 13 + 3 \sqrt{2} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 13- 3 \sqrt{2}\right) } \cdot \left( 13 + 3 \sqrt{2}\right) = \color{blue}{13} \cdot13+\color{blue}{13} \cdot 3 \sqrt{2}\color{blue}{- 3 \sqrt{2}} \cdot13\color{blue}{- 3 \sqrt{2}} \cdot 3 \sqrt{2} = \\ = 169 + 39 \sqrt{2}- 39 \sqrt{2}-18 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
