① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ 18 + \sqrt{3}} $$. |
② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 7 } \cdot \left( 18 + \sqrt{3}\right) = \color{blue}{7} \cdot18+\color{blue}{7} \cdot \sqrt{3} = \\ = 126 + 7 \sqrt{3} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 18- \sqrt{3}\right) } \cdot \left( 18 + \sqrt{3}\right) = \color{blue}{18} \cdot18+\color{blue}{18} \cdot \sqrt{3}\color{blue}{- \sqrt{3}} \cdot18\color{blue}{- \sqrt{3}} \cdot \sqrt{3} = \\ = 324 + 18 \sqrt{3}- 18 \sqrt{3}-3 $$ |
③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
