① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{48}- \sqrt{18}} $$. |
② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 4 \sqrt{3} + 5 \sqrt{2}\right) } \cdot \left( \sqrt{48}- \sqrt{18}\right) = \color{blue}{ 4 \sqrt{3}} \cdot \sqrt{48}+\color{blue}{ 4 \sqrt{3}} \cdot- \sqrt{18}+\color{blue}{ 5 \sqrt{2}} \cdot \sqrt{48}+\color{blue}{ 5 \sqrt{2}} \cdot- \sqrt{18} = \\ = 48- 12 \sqrt{6} + 20 \sqrt{6}-30 $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( \sqrt{48} + \sqrt{18}\right) } \cdot \left( \sqrt{48}- \sqrt{18}\right) = \color{blue}{ \sqrt{48}} \cdot \sqrt{48}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{48}} \cdot- \sqrt{18}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{18}} \cdot \sqrt{48}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{18}} \cdot- \sqrt{18} = \\ = 48- 12 \sqrt{6} + 12 \sqrt{6}-18 $$ |
③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
④ | Divide both numerator and denominator by 2. |
