| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{8}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 15 \sqrt{18}- 3 \sqrt{242}\right) } \cdot \sqrt{8} = \color{blue}{ 15 \sqrt{18}} \cdot \sqrt{8}\color{blue}{- 3 \sqrt{242}} \cdot \sqrt{8} = \\ = 180-132 $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ - 3 \sqrt{8} } \cdot \sqrt{8} = -24 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
| ④ | Place minus sign in front of the fraction. |
| ⑤ | Divide both the top and bottom numbers by $ \color{orangered}{ 24 } $. |
| ⑥ | Remove 1 from denominator. |
