| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 6 } \cdot \left( \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3}\right) = \color{blue}{6} \cdot \sqrt{5}+\color{blue}{6} \cdot \sqrt{3} = \\ = 6 \sqrt{5} + 6 \sqrt{3} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( \sqrt{5}- \sqrt{3}\right) } \cdot \left( \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3}\right) = \color{blue}{ \sqrt{5}} \cdot \sqrt{5}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{5}} \cdot \sqrt{3}\color{blue}{- \sqrt{3}} \cdot \sqrt{5}\color{blue}{- \sqrt{3}} \cdot \sqrt{3} = \\ = 5 + \sqrt{15}- \sqrt{15}-3 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
