| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{3}-5} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 6 } \cdot \left( \sqrt{3}-5\right) = \color{blue}{6} \cdot \sqrt{3}+\color{blue}{6} \cdot-5 = \\ = 6 \sqrt{3}-30 $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( \sqrt{3} + 5\right) } \cdot \left( \sqrt{3}-5\right) = \color{blue}{ \sqrt{3}} \cdot \sqrt{3}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{3}} \cdot-5+\color{blue}{5} \cdot \sqrt{3}+\color{blue}{5} \cdot-5 = \\ = 3- 5 \sqrt{3} + 5 \sqrt{3}-25 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
| ④ | Multiply both numerator and denominator by -1. |
