| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{26}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{10} } \cdot \sqrt{26} = 2 \sqrt{65} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{26} } \cdot \sqrt{26} = 26 $$ |
| ③ | Divide both numerator and denominator by 2. |
