| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{5}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 10 + \sqrt{5}\right) } \cdot \sqrt{5} = \color{blue}{10} \cdot \sqrt{5}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{5}} \cdot \sqrt{5} = \\ = 10 \sqrt{5} + 5 $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{5} } \cdot \sqrt{5} = 5 $$ |
| ③ | Divide both numerator and denominator by 5. |
| ④ | Remove 1 from denominator. |
