| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ -7- \sqrt{15}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{10} } \cdot \left( -7- \sqrt{15}\right) = \color{blue}{ \sqrt{10}} \cdot-7+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{10}} \cdot- \sqrt{15} = \\ = - 7 \sqrt{10}- 5 \sqrt{6} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( -7 + \sqrt{15}\right) } \cdot \left( -7- \sqrt{15}\right) = \color{blue}{-7} \cdot-7\color{blue}{-7} \cdot- \sqrt{15}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{15}} \cdot-7+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{15}} \cdot- \sqrt{15} = \\ = 49 + 7 \sqrt{15}- 7 \sqrt{15}-15 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
