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