| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ 5- \sqrt{29}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 11 } \cdot \left( 5- \sqrt{29}\right) = \color{blue}{11} \cdot5+\color{blue}{11} \cdot- \sqrt{29} = \\ = 55- 11 \sqrt{29} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 5 + \sqrt{29}\right) } \cdot \left( 5- \sqrt{29}\right) = \color{blue}{5} \cdot5+\color{blue}{5} \cdot- \sqrt{29}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{29}} \cdot5+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{29}} \cdot- \sqrt{29} = \\ = 25- 5 \sqrt{29} + 5 \sqrt{29}-29 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
| ④ | Multiply both numerator and denominator by -1. |
