| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{6} + \sqrt{5}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{5} } \cdot \left( \sqrt{6} + \sqrt{5}\right) = \color{blue}{ \sqrt{5}} \cdot \sqrt{6}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{5}} \cdot \sqrt{5} = \\ = \sqrt{30} + 5 $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( \sqrt{6}- \sqrt{5}\right) } \cdot \left( \sqrt{6} + \sqrt{5}\right) = \color{blue}{ \sqrt{6}} \cdot \sqrt{6}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{6}} \cdot \sqrt{5}\color{blue}{- \sqrt{5}} \cdot \sqrt{6}\color{blue}{- \sqrt{5}} \cdot \sqrt{5} = \\ = 6 + \sqrt{30}- \sqrt{30}-5 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
| ④ | Remove 1 from denominator. |
