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