| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ -8- \sqrt{6}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 4 } \cdot \left( -8- \sqrt{6}\right) = \color{blue}{4} \cdot-8+\color{blue}{4} \cdot- \sqrt{6} = \\ = -32- 4 \sqrt{6} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( -8 + \sqrt{6}\right) } \cdot \left( -8- \sqrt{6}\right) = \color{blue}{-8} \cdot-8\color{blue}{-8} \cdot- \sqrt{6}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{6}} \cdot-8+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{6}} \cdot- \sqrt{6} = \\ = 64 + 8 \sqrt{6}- 8 \sqrt{6}-6 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
