| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{7}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 6 } \cdot \left( \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{7}\right) = \color{blue}{6} \cdot \sqrt{10}+\color{blue}{6} \cdot \sqrt{7} = \\ = 6 \sqrt{10} + 6 \sqrt{7} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( \sqrt{10}- \sqrt{7}\right) } \cdot \left( \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{7}\right) = \color{blue}{ \sqrt{10}} \cdot \sqrt{10}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{10}} \cdot \sqrt{7}\color{blue}{- \sqrt{7}} \cdot \sqrt{10}\color{blue}{- \sqrt{7}} \cdot \sqrt{7} = \\ = 10 + \sqrt{70}- \sqrt{70}-7 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
