| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{7} + \sqrt{5}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 8 } \cdot \left( \sqrt{7} + \sqrt{5}\right) = \color{blue}{8} \cdot \sqrt{7}+\color{blue}{8} \cdot \sqrt{5} = \\ = 8 \sqrt{7} + 8 \sqrt{5} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( \sqrt{7}- \sqrt{5}\right) } \cdot \left( \sqrt{7} + \sqrt{5}\right) = \color{blue}{ \sqrt{7}} \cdot \sqrt{7}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{7}} \cdot \sqrt{5}\color{blue}{- \sqrt{5}} \cdot \sqrt{7}\color{blue}{- \sqrt{5}} \cdot \sqrt{5} = \\ = 7 + \sqrt{35}- \sqrt{35}-5 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
