You can put this solution on YOUR website!
i believe what you are trying to do there is rationalize the denominator in order to simplify the fraction.
see my worksheet below.
here's a reference:
https://www.mathsisfun.com/algebra/rationalize-denominator.html
there is also the concept of simplifying the radical first.
this next reference discusses that as well as rationalizing the denominator.

here'smy worksheet.
