Answer

$\sqrt{35}+\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{42}-\sqrt{6}$

Work Step by Step

Using $(a+b)(c+d)=ab+ad+bc+bd$ or the FOIL Method, the expression $ \left( \sqrt{5}-\sqrt{6} \right)\left( \sqrt{7}+1 \right) $ simplifies to \begin{array}{l} \sqrt{5}\left( \sqrt{7} \right)+\sqrt{5}\left( 1 \right)-\sqrt{6}\left( \sqrt{7} \right)-\sqrt{6}\left( 1 \right) \\\\= \sqrt{35}+\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{42}-\sqrt{6} .\end{array}
