| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ 6- \sqrt{6}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 2 } \cdot \left( 6- \sqrt{6}\right) = \color{blue}{2} \cdot6+\color{blue}{2} \cdot- \sqrt{6} = \\ = 12- 2 \sqrt{6} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 6 + \sqrt{6}\right) } \cdot \left( 6- \sqrt{6}\right) = \color{blue}{6} \cdot6+\color{blue}{6} \cdot- \sqrt{6}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{6}} \cdot6+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{6}} \cdot- \sqrt{6} = \\ = 36- 6 \sqrt{6} + 6 \sqrt{6}-6 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
| ④ | Divide both numerator and denominator by 2. |
