| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{3}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 12- 7 \sqrt{3}\right) } \cdot \sqrt{3} = \color{blue}{12} \cdot \sqrt{3}\color{blue}{- 7 \sqrt{3}} \cdot \sqrt{3} = \\ = 12 \sqrt{3}-21 $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{3} } \cdot \sqrt{3} = 3 $$ |
| ③ | Divide both numerator and denominator by 3. |
| ④ | Remove 1 from denominator. |
