| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ 7 + \sqrt{5}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 2 + 3 \sqrt{5}\right) } \cdot \left( 7 + \sqrt{5}\right) = \color{blue}{2} \cdot7+\color{blue}{2} \cdot \sqrt{5}+\color{blue}{ 3 \sqrt{5}} \cdot7+\color{blue}{ 3 \sqrt{5}} \cdot \sqrt{5} = \\ = 14 + 2 \sqrt{5} + 21 \sqrt{5} + 15 $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 7- \sqrt{5}\right) } \cdot \left( 7 + \sqrt{5}\right) = \color{blue}{7} \cdot7+\color{blue}{7} \cdot \sqrt{5}\color{blue}{- \sqrt{5}} \cdot7\color{blue}{- \sqrt{5}} \cdot \sqrt{5} = \\ = 49 + 7 \sqrt{5}- 7 \sqrt{5}-5 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
