| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{5} + 2} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 6 + 3 \sqrt{5}\right) } \cdot \left( \sqrt{5} + 2\right) = \color{blue}{6} \cdot \sqrt{5}+\color{blue}{6} \cdot2+\color{blue}{ 3 \sqrt{5}} \cdot \sqrt{5}+\color{blue}{ 3 \sqrt{5}} \cdot2 = \\ = 6 \sqrt{5} + 12 + 15 + 6 \sqrt{5} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( \sqrt{5}-2\right) } \cdot \left( \sqrt{5} + 2\right) = \color{blue}{ \sqrt{5}} \cdot \sqrt{5}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{5}} \cdot2\color{blue}{-2} \cdot \sqrt{5}\color{blue}{-2} \cdot2 = \\ = 5 + 2 \sqrt{5}- 2 \sqrt{5}-4 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
| ④ | Remove 1 from denominator. |
