Rationalise the denominator:
=
To "rationalise" the denominator means to remove the radical sign and this can be done here by multiplying the numerator and the denominator by .
Substitute
Perform the indicated multiplication in the numerator.
Rewrite
Take the square root of 16 (that's 4) and move it outside the radical.
Rewrite
Cancel the 4's
