| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{7} + 6} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 10 } \cdot \left( \sqrt{7} + 6\right) = \color{blue}{10} \cdot \sqrt{7}+\color{blue}{10} \cdot6 = \\ = 10 \sqrt{7} + 60 $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( \sqrt{7}-6\right) } \cdot \left( \sqrt{7} + 6\right) = \color{blue}{ \sqrt{7}} \cdot \sqrt{7}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{7}} \cdot6\color{blue}{-6} \cdot \sqrt{7}\color{blue}{-6} \cdot6 = \\ = 7 + 6 \sqrt{7}- 6 \sqrt{7}-36 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
| ④ | Place a negative sign in front of a fraction. |
