| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ 3 \sqrt{2}-3} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 4 \sqrt{2} + 3\right) } \cdot \left( 3 \sqrt{2}-3\right) = \color{blue}{ 4 \sqrt{2}} \cdot 3 \sqrt{2}+\color{blue}{ 4 \sqrt{2}} \cdot-3+\color{blue}{3} \cdot 3 \sqrt{2}+\color{blue}{3} \cdot-3 = \\ = 24- 12 \sqrt{2} + 9 \sqrt{2}-9 $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 3 \sqrt{2} + 3\right) } \cdot \left( 3 \sqrt{2}-3\right) = \color{blue}{ 3 \sqrt{2}} \cdot 3 \sqrt{2}+\color{blue}{ 3 \sqrt{2}} \cdot-3+\color{blue}{3} \cdot 3 \sqrt{2}+\color{blue}{3} \cdot-3 = \\ = 18- 9 \sqrt{2} + 9 \sqrt{2}-9 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
| ④ | Divide both numerator and denominator by 3. |
