① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{20}} $$. |
② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{9} } \cdot \sqrt{20} = 6 \sqrt{5} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{20} } \cdot \sqrt{20} = 20 $$ |
③ | Divide numerator and denominator by $ \color{blue}{ 2 } $. |
