| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{14}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{42} } \cdot \sqrt{14} = 14 \sqrt{3} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{14} } \cdot \sqrt{14} = 14 $$ |
| ③ | Divide both numerator and denominator by 14. |
