| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{3}-6} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 2 } \cdot \left( \sqrt{3}-6\right) = \color{blue}{2} \cdot \sqrt{3}+\color{blue}{2} \cdot-6 = \\ = 2 \sqrt{3}-12 $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( \sqrt{3} + 6\right) } \cdot \left( \sqrt{3}-6\right) = \color{blue}{ \sqrt{3}} \cdot \sqrt{3}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{3}} \cdot-6+\color{blue}{6} \cdot \sqrt{3}+\color{blue}{6} \cdot-6 = \\ = 3- 6 \sqrt{3} + 6 \sqrt{3}-36 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
| ④ | Multiply both numerator and denominator by -1. |
