① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{6} + \sqrt{3}} $$. |
② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 12 } \cdot \left( \sqrt{6} + \sqrt{3}\right) = \color{blue}{12} \cdot \sqrt{6}+\color{blue}{12} \cdot \sqrt{3} = \\ = 12 \sqrt{6} + 12 \sqrt{3} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( \sqrt{6}- \sqrt{3}\right) } \cdot \left( \sqrt{6} + \sqrt{3}\right) = \color{blue}{ \sqrt{6}} \cdot \sqrt{6}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{6}} \cdot \sqrt{3}\color{blue}{- \sqrt{3}} \cdot \sqrt{6}\color{blue}{- \sqrt{3}} \cdot \sqrt{3} = \\ = 6 + 3 \sqrt{2}- 3 \sqrt{2}-3 $$ |
③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
