| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ 2 + \sqrt{6}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 2 } \cdot \left( 2 + \sqrt{6}\right) = \color{blue}{2} \cdot2+\color{blue}{2} \cdot \sqrt{6} = \\ = 4 + 2 \sqrt{6} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 2- \sqrt{6}\right) } \cdot \left( 2 + \sqrt{6}\right) = \color{blue}{2} \cdot2+\color{blue}{2} \cdot \sqrt{6}\color{blue}{- \sqrt{6}} \cdot2\color{blue}{- \sqrt{6}} \cdot \sqrt{6} = \\ = 4 + 2 \sqrt{6}- 2 \sqrt{6}-6 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
| ④ | Divide both numerator and denominator by 2. |
| ⑤ | Place a negative sign in front of a fraction. |
