| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ 4- \sqrt{14}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 6- \sqrt{14}\right) } \cdot \left( 4- \sqrt{14}\right) = \color{blue}{6} \cdot4+\color{blue}{6} \cdot- \sqrt{14}\color{blue}{- \sqrt{14}} \cdot4\color{blue}{- \sqrt{14}} \cdot- \sqrt{14} = \\ = 24- 6 \sqrt{14}- 4 \sqrt{14} + 14 $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 4 + \sqrt{14}\right) } \cdot \left( 4- \sqrt{14}\right) = \color{blue}{4} \cdot4+\color{blue}{4} \cdot- \sqrt{14}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{14}} \cdot4+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{14}} \cdot- \sqrt{14} = \\ = 16- 4 \sqrt{14} + 4 \sqrt{14}-14 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
| ④ | Divide both numerator and denominator by 2. |
| ⑤ | Remove 1 from denominator. |
