| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ 2- \sqrt{5}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 5- \sqrt{3}\right) } \cdot \left( 2- \sqrt{5}\right) = \color{blue}{5} \cdot2+\color{blue}{5} \cdot- \sqrt{5}\color{blue}{- \sqrt{3}} \cdot2\color{blue}{- \sqrt{3}} \cdot- \sqrt{5} = \\ = 10- 5 \sqrt{5}- 2 \sqrt{3} + \sqrt{15} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 2 + \sqrt{5}\right) } \cdot \left( 2- \sqrt{5}\right) = \color{blue}{2} \cdot2+\color{blue}{2} \cdot- \sqrt{5}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{5}} \cdot2+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{5}} \cdot- \sqrt{5} = \\ = 4- 2 \sqrt{5} + 2 \sqrt{5}-5 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
| ④ | Multiply both numerator and denominator by -1. |
| ⑤ | Remove 1 from denominator. |
