| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{2} + 1} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 3 \sqrt{2} + 6\right) } \cdot \left( \sqrt{2} + 1\right) = \color{blue}{ 3 \sqrt{2}} \cdot \sqrt{2}+\color{blue}{ 3 \sqrt{2}} \cdot1+\color{blue}{6} \cdot \sqrt{2}+\color{blue}{6} \cdot1 = \\ = 6 + 3 \sqrt{2} + 6 \sqrt{2} + 6 $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( \sqrt{2}-1\right) } \cdot \left( \sqrt{2} + 1\right) = \color{blue}{ \sqrt{2}} \cdot \sqrt{2}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{2}} \cdot1\color{blue}{-1} \cdot \sqrt{2}\color{blue}{-1} \cdot1 = \\ = 2 + \sqrt{2}- \sqrt{2}-1 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
| ④ | Remove 1 from denominator. |
