| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ 8- \sqrt{13}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 6 } \cdot \left( 8- \sqrt{13}\right) = \color{blue}{6} \cdot8+\color{blue}{6} \cdot- \sqrt{13} = \\ = 48- 6 \sqrt{13} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 8 + \sqrt{13}\right) } \cdot \left( 8- \sqrt{13}\right) = \color{blue}{8} \cdot8+\color{blue}{8} \cdot- \sqrt{13}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{13}} \cdot8+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{13}} \cdot- \sqrt{13} = \\ = 64- 8 \sqrt{13} + 8 \sqrt{13}-13 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
