| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ 6- \sqrt{3}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 5 } \cdot \left( 6- \sqrt{3}\right) = \color{blue}{5} \cdot6+\color{blue}{5} \cdot- \sqrt{3} = \\ = 30- 5 \sqrt{3} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 6 + \sqrt{3}\right) } \cdot \left( 6- \sqrt{3}\right) = \color{blue}{6} \cdot6+\color{blue}{6} \cdot- \sqrt{3}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{3}} \cdot6+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{3}} \cdot- \sqrt{3} = \\ = 36- 6 \sqrt{3} + 6 \sqrt{3}-3 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
