| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ 2 \sqrt{6}- 4 \sqrt{5}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( \sqrt{6}-1\right) } \cdot \left( 2 \sqrt{6}- 4 \sqrt{5}\right) = \color{blue}{ \sqrt{6}} \cdot 2 \sqrt{6}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{6}} \cdot- 4 \sqrt{5}\color{blue}{-1} \cdot 2 \sqrt{6}\color{blue}{-1} \cdot- 4 \sqrt{5} = \\ = 12- 4 \sqrt{30}- 2 \sqrt{6} + 4 \sqrt{5} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 2 \sqrt{6} + 4 \sqrt{5}\right) } \cdot \left( 2 \sqrt{6}- 4 \sqrt{5}\right) = \color{blue}{ 2 \sqrt{6}} \cdot 2 \sqrt{6}+\color{blue}{ 2 \sqrt{6}} \cdot- 4 \sqrt{5}+\color{blue}{ 4 \sqrt{5}} \cdot 2 \sqrt{6}+\color{blue}{ 4 \sqrt{5}} \cdot- 4 \sqrt{5} = \\ = 24- 8 \sqrt{30} + 8 \sqrt{30}-80 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
| ④ | Divide both numerator and denominator by 2. |
| ⑤ | Multiply both numerator and denominator by -1. |
