| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{6}- \sqrt{2}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ - 4 \sqrt{3} } \cdot \left( \sqrt{6}- \sqrt{2}\right) = \color{blue}{- 4 \sqrt{3}} \cdot \sqrt{6}\color{blue}{- 4 \sqrt{3}} \cdot- \sqrt{2} = \\ = - 12 \sqrt{2} + 4 \sqrt{6} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( \sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2}\right) } \cdot \left( \sqrt{6}- \sqrt{2}\right) = \color{blue}{ \sqrt{6}} \cdot \sqrt{6}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{6}} \cdot- \sqrt{2}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{2}} \cdot \sqrt{6}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{2}} \cdot- \sqrt{2} = \\ = 6- 2 \sqrt{3} + 2 \sqrt{3}-2 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
| ④ | Divide both numerator and denominator by 4. |
| ⑤ | Remove 1 from denominator. |
