Alright, so I've go this question where I'm to rationalize the numerator. [Grade 10 Level]
(1+sqrt(2)-sqrt(3))/(sqrt(2))

I'm not going to type all of my entire failed attempts. Though, I did try seperating this into two fractions, but I don't think that'd be useful. I also multiplied the numerator and denominator by the numerator's conjugate, I think. Although I'm not sure:
(1+sqrt(2)-sqrt(3))/(sqrt(2))*((sqrt(2))+(sqrt(3)))/((sqrt(2))+(sqrt(3)))

I think the positive one in the equation is what's causing me to lose.
