| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ 3 \sqrt{2}- \sqrt{3}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 3 \sqrt{2}- \sqrt{3}\right) } \cdot \left( 3 \sqrt{2}- \sqrt{3}\right) = \color{blue}{ 3 \sqrt{2}} \cdot 3 \sqrt{2}+\color{blue}{ 3 \sqrt{2}} \cdot- \sqrt{3}\color{blue}{- \sqrt{3}} \cdot 3 \sqrt{2}\color{blue}{- \sqrt{3}} \cdot- \sqrt{3} = \\ = 18- 3 \sqrt{6}- 3 \sqrt{6} + 3 $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 3 \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}\right) } \cdot \left( 3 \sqrt{2}- \sqrt{3}\right) = \color{blue}{ 3 \sqrt{2}} \cdot 3 \sqrt{2}+\color{blue}{ 3 \sqrt{2}} \cdot- \sqrt{3}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{3}} \cdot 3 \sqrt{2}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{3}} \cdot- \sqrt{3} = \\ = 18- 3 \sqrt{6} + 3 \sqrt{6}-3 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
| ④ | Divide both numerator and denominator by 3. |
