| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ 6 \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{6}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 3 \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{6}\right) } \cdot \left( 6 \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{6}\right) = \color{blue}{ 3 \sqrt{2}} \cdot 6 \sqrt{2}+\color{blue}{ 3 \sqrt{2}} \cdot \sqrt{6}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{6}} \cdot 6 \sqrt{2}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{6}} \cdot \sqrt{6} = \\ = 36 + 6 \sqrt{3} + 12 \sqrt{3} + 6 $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 6 \sqrt{2}- \sqrt{6}\right) } \cdot \left( 6 \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{6}\right) = \color{blue}{ 6 \sqrt{2}} \cdot 6 \sqrt{2}+\color{blue}{ 6 \sqrt{2}} \cdot \sqrt{6}\color{blue}{- \sqrt{6}} \cdot 6 \sqrt{2}\color{blue}{- \sqrt{6}} \cdot \sqrt{6} = \\ = 72 + 12 \sqrt{3}- 12 \sqrt{3}-6 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
| ④ | Divide both numerator and denominator by 6. |
