| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ 2 \sqrt{5}-3} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 9 } \cdot \left( 2 \sqrt{5}-3\right) = \color{blue}{9} \cdot 2 \sqrt{5}+\color{blue}{9} \cdot-3 = \\ = 18 \sqrt{5}-27 $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 2 \sqrt{5} + 3\right) } \cdot \left( 2 \sqrt{5}-3\right) = \color{blue}{ 2 \sqrt{5}} \cdot 2 \sqrt{5}+\color{blue}{ 2 \sqrt{5}} \cdot-3+\color{blue}{3} \cdot 2 \sqrt{5}+\color{blue}{3} \cdot-3 = \\ = 20- 6 \sqrt{5} + 6 \sqrt{5}-9 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
