| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{7}-5} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{7} } \cdot \left( \sqrt{7}-5\right) = \color{blue}{ \sqrt{7}} \cdot \sqrt{7}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{7}} \cdot-5 = \\ = 7- 5 \sqrt{7} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( \sqrt{7} + 5\right) } \cdot \left( \sqrt{7}-5\right) = \color{blue}{ \sqrt{7}} \cdot \sqrt{7}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{7}} \cdot-5+\color{blue}{5} \cdot \sqrt{7}+\color{blue}{5} \cdot-5 = \\ = 7- 5 \sqrt{7} + 5 \sqrt{7}-25 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
| ④ | Multiply both numerator and denominator by -1. |
