| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{8}- \sqrt{3}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{200} } \cdot \left( \sqrt{8}- \sqrt{3}\right) = \color{blue}{ \sqrt{200}} \cdot \sqrt{8}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{200}} \cdot- \sqrt{3} = \\ = 40- 10 \sqrt{6} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( \sqrt{8} + \sqrt{3}\right) } \cdot \left( \sqrt{8}- \sqrt{3}\right) = \color{blue}{ \sqrt{8}} \cdot \sqrt{8}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{8}} \cdot- \sqrt{3}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{3}} \cdot \sqrt{8}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{3}} \cdot- \sqrt{3} = \\ = 8- 2 \sqrt{6} + 2 \sqrt{6}-3 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
