| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ - \sqrt{6}-3} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 1 } \cdot \left( - \sqrt{6}-3\right) = \color{blue}{1} \cdot- \sqrt{6}+\color{blue}{1} \cdot-3 = \\ = - \sqrt{6}-3 $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( - \sqrt{6} + 3\right) } \cdot \left( - \sqrt{6}-3\right) = \color{blue}{- \sqrt{6}} \cdot- \sqrt{6}\color{blue}{- \sqrt{6}} \cdot-3+\color{blue}{3} \cdot- \sqrt{6}+\color{blue}{3} \cdot-3 = \\ = 6 + 3 \sqrt{6}- 3 \sqrt{6}-9 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
| ④ | Multiply both numerator and denominator by -1. |
