| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ 3 + \sqrt{7}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 3 + \sqrt{3}\right) } \cdot \left( 3 + \sqrt{7}\right) = \color{blue}{3} \cdot3+\color{blue}{3} \cdot \sqrt{7}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{3}} \cdot3+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{3}} \cdot \sqrt{7} = \\ = 9 + 3 \sqrt{7} + 3 \sqrt{3} + \sqrt{21} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 3- \sqrt{7}\right) } \cdot \left( 3 + \sqrt{7}\right) = \color{blue}{3} \cdot3+\color{blue}{3} \cdot \sqrt{7}\color{blue}{- \sqrt{7}} \cdot3\color{blue}{- \sqrt{7}} \cdot \sqrt{7} = \\ = 9 + 3 \sqrt{7}- 3 \sqrt{7}-7 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
