| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{3} + 6} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 8 } \cdot \left( \sqrt{3} + 6\right) = \color{blue}{8} \cdot \sqrt{3}+\color{blue}{8} \cdot6 = \\ = 8 \sqrt{3} + 48 $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( \sqrt{3}-6\right) } \cdot \left( \sqrt{3} + 6\right) = \color{blue}{ \sqrt{3}} \cdot \sqrt{3}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{3}} \cdot6\color{blue}{-6} \cdot \sqrt{3}\color{blue}{-6} \cdot6 = \\ = 3 + 6 \sqrt{3}- 6 \sqrt{3}-36 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
| ④ | Place a negative sign in front of a fraction. |
